of the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the US, only about 20% are from Mexico. Many are not even from 3rd world countries. Many are from Europe, Australia, and even Canada.
Wow, Fogarty, I don't know where you get your info from, but you should definitely have your 5 star Expert rating stripped away. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, Mexico is far and away the clear cut leader as far as immigrant growth, with over 6 times the amount of immigrants more than runner up, China/Hong Kong/Taiwan. The study goes on to say that half of the immigration growth in the U.S is illegal, and primarily from MEXICO. This big uproar that we are hearing about in the Senate, and in Congress, and from the White House over immigration reform is due to an overabundance of MEXICANS illegally entering this country, not because of the Italians, or the Swedish, or the Turks.....IT"S THE MEXICANS. For you to say or insinuate that it is not, or that Mexican illegals are a minor part of this problem is absurd. Now, what are you an expert on?
