This map is deceptive and would leave one to not realize that 25% of the Mexican population in the world is now residing illegally in the US. Further, when you go to any WalMart in the country, it is mostly Mexican and hispanic. Plus, look at places like Hillsboro, Oregon that 20 years ago has about 10,000 mostly non-Hispanic residents, 10 years later had over 100,000 Hispanic residents, and now even more. Those are all missing, buried on this map.

How about a similar map showing the illegal population by race/ethnic, and religious group?

Not in the South.

Hispanic does not mean illegal. There are plenty of Americans who are Hispanic.

You're right - and it's due to the fact that the map-makers have chosen to count Catholic Hispanics and Protestant Hispanics separately. If instead all Hispanics were grouped together in a single category "Hispanics," they would be shown to be the majority in a great many more localities, and their domination in border states would be much more dramatically illustrated.

After all, is the difference between Catholic Hispanics and Protestant Hispanics really that important - I mean, in terms of the political and cultural future of this country?

The WalMart nearest us is staffed primarily by Indians (Taj Mahal Indians, not Land-o-Lakes Indians).
