285,000,000 U.S. Population
35,300,000 Illegal Mexicans

It states the Hispanic population has grown 58% to 35.3 million. It does not state that those are illegals.

There are between 8 and 11 million illegal aliens in the US from all different countries, not just Mexico.

The remainder of the 35.3 million Hispanics are legal residents or first generation Americans.
