How is 3 million equal to 2/3 of 12 to 20 million? In the math I know that adds up to between 1/4 & 1/5th.
How many of them are actively involved in human & drug trafficking?
I'm against ALL illegal immigration but trying to compare 3 million of mixed ethnicity to 12 to 20 million is stupid. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there were only 3 million illegal Latinos here.

You just don't pay attention. Best estimates are around 11 million with 4.5 million or so being Mexican.
Here is an earlier estimate from FAIR...
FAIR: FAIR estimates there are 13 million illegal aliens (http://www.fairus.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=16859&security=1601&news _iv_ctrl=1007 - broken link)
There are later ones but from Pew...

By being realistic? I'm of Italian descent but have no trouble being honest about the Italian role in organized crime or the cops focusing on Italians to combat it. Only an idiot would NOT look at people of obviously Latino heritage when looking for illegal immigrants, its not bigotry anymore than it would be bigotry to ignore cats & search for a dog if a dogs been running around biting people. When you can show us that theres millions of white, black & asian illegals here you MIGHT have a leg to stand on calling those who focus on Latino's in the fight against illegal immigration bigots. Until then it just makes you look ignorant or stupid, you choose.

No wonder our country is going down the tubes.
Sir, When did ever call anyone a bigot? make certain of your claims.
If your recall, the poster called himself a bigot...I did not. The poster said that he was a bigot against Mexicans because they made himlook bad.
my one comment ,was to say that he made himself look bad...not that he was a bigot. Do you not see that?
anyway, you made the claim...prove it.
Please, cite any quote on this forum where I called ANYONE a bigot.
Now that you got clarification...which one did YOU choose?
According to a Pew Hispanic Center report, Mexicans make up 57 percent of immigrants present in the United States illegally. Another 24 percent are from other Latin American countries. Approximately 9 percent are from Asia, 6 percent from Europe and Canada, with the remaining 4 percent from the rest of the world [5].
Take the 57% who are Mexicans and add in the other 24% from other Latin American countries and what ethnic group is here by far in the largest numbers illegally in our country? 57 + 24 = 81%!

Someone is this thread tried to claim that Mexicans/Hispanics are fewer here in numbers illegally than other ethnic/national groups are combined. They were wrong and I am correcting their wrong.

Don't be surprised to be called a racist xenophobe for pointing out the facts though
