50% = 1.5 million.... x2 is 3,000,000

so only 3 million illegals here.

yeah this one needs to go find some valid illegal immigration figures to quote.

post your sources please.

Agreed. With exception to the Mexicans, who happen to be bringing negative attention to themselves, it's rare to hear about other ethnic groups of illegals demanding that we "give them back "their land," change our road signs to make them bi-lingual, or even give them voting rights and free citizenship. It's time to draw the line and run these thugs off of our land! If the illegals believe that they're entitled to the same rights as American citizens, and show no fear for U.S. law; perhaps they need to be redirected south of the Rio Grande, where they can act in defiance of their own corrupt government, in an attempt to improve their situation. Until we as a nation can fix our own issues, we have no need or desire to delve into the problems created by another nation's citizens.

The Asians are working their butts off in a restaurant kitchen until they save enough money to go to Stanford.

Not fuzzy math, just really bad sentence construction. There should have been an "among" inserted, as in among the other 50%.

My apologies.

Care to cite your stats? I have a hard time believing that Mexicans make up only 50% of our illegal population.

Some additional detail:

"Between 2000 and 2009, the Mexican-born unauthorised immigrants increased by two million or 42 percent. But the greatest percentage increases occurred among unauthorised immigrants from Honduras (95 percent), Guatemala (65 percent), and India (64 percent).
...
California remained the leading state of residence of the illegal immigrants in 2009, with 2.6 million, followed by Texas (1.7 million), Florida (720,000), New York (550,000) and Illinois (540,000)."
