Strawman argument.

Not all “illegals” are from Mexico.
Factor in South America,Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa,Australia,etc.
Add in the Island nations, all of them.

Can you even open your eyes to the scope of the problem?
Or do you really buy into the “hype” that all of us who have been screaming for years against illegal immigrants are racists who hate (pick your color and religion/insert here)?

We estimate that 57 percent of the illegal alien population comes from Mexico, 11 percent is from Central America, 9 percent is from East Asia, 8 percent is from South America, and Europe and the Caribbean account for 4 percent. Of all immigrants from Mexico, 55 percent are illegal; for Central Americans it is 47 percent; and it is 33 percent for South Americans.

From http://www.cis.org/immigrants_profile_2007

That's 69% from Mexico and Central America. Toss in South America and we're looking at 77% Hispanic illegals. That's a pretty significant number. Assuming it's correct, less than 25% are from elsewhere.
