I've heard that about half of the illegal aliens are from Hispanic countries. Most people don't realize how many illegals here are from Europe, Canada, Australia, Asian countries, etc.
Depends on what part of the country you live in. On the east coast I've met quite a few people here illegally from every continent except antarctica.
The lack of desire to assimilate into our society coupled with the sheer numbers is the main problem with the southern influx in my humble opinion. Do european or asian illegals refuse to learn the language in such numbers? The answer is no. The logical question is why?
Me thinks you've been "hearing" from a tainted source.
It's estimated that about 80-81% are from south of the border.....56-57% from Mexico, 22-24% from other Latino countries.
Most people don't care how many illegals here are from Europe, Canada, Australia, Asian countries, etc.
Okay, I looked it up. 81% of illegal aliens are hispanic, 9% Asian, 6% from Europe and Canada, and 4% from Africa or elsewhere.
Is the real problem the 6% from Europe and Canada, or the 81% from Mexico and Latin America?
