Why do some people believe the world latino is synonymous with illegal?

Evidence:

from "justagrandma": "And right now we see Latinos coming here and wanting our country to change to accommodate for them instead of their learning our ways."

from "fatheadandstar": "this is because millions of them come illegally and then send the money they make here back to where they are from, dont even try to learn the language, bad talk the country, have children so they can become citizens, steal jobs. Learn to respect our country and maybe we will accept you" (this was a question asked about Latinos, NOT illegals. So...)

from "louisk": "As far as the Latino go most of them come here illegally and decide they are going to live off of the US taxpayers by collecting all the free services they can get.And the hardworking taxpayer like me cant go to college cant collect unemployment welfare or anything I am entitled to because they have used it all up and they aren't even citizens"

What are the possibilities for a foreigner to get a job in the UK?

I don't. But around here (DC) the immigrants rights people seem to not know the difference. They seem to use immigrant and illegal alien interchangeably. I know the difference and welcome anyone who comes here legally, especially if they want to assimilate. But we have enough criminals here already, no need to import them from other countries (illegal aliens).

Ridiculous...
