I would love to give you some data on that..
64%
The percentage of Hispanic-origin people in the United States who were of Mexican background in 2007. Another 9% were of Puerto Rican background, with 3.5%, 3.1% Salvadoran, and 2.7% Dominican. The remainder were of some other Central American, South American or other Hispanic or Latino origin. Hispanic Americans: Census Facts — Infoplease.com
If you look at CNN, they are reporting this story on the front page, main photo, trying to paint the BP agent in the wrong. It is no surprise that CNN is lagging behind other networks when it comes to news - it just can't report without a gigantic bias.

About 45% of the nation's Dominicans lived in New York City in 2007 and about half of the nation's Cubans in Miami-Dade County, Fla.
Exactly right, so do we take into consideration anchor babies?.. well ok, we will leave them out for fun. 11.3 million, or 37%
Number and percentage of Mexican-origin people who are foreign-born; 2.5 million of them are naturalized citizens. Among the population as a whole, 12 percent are foreign-born. Cinco de Mayo by the Numbers — Infoplease.com
So now for some basic math.. 46.5 million Hispanic people in the united States. 30.7 million of Mexican background. 8.8 million Mexicans that are not United States citizens. 66% of Hispanics are of Mexican descent, and 28.7% of all Mexicans are not here legally. Yeah... that circle still needs to grow a lot bigger. To make it easier for you.. 19% of ALL Hispanics in America are illegal immigrants (just the Mexican ones), with Mexicans making up the largest Hispanic group in America. Come on.. you really wanna keep going on this?
I don't see why properly investigating the circumstances of this teen's death is such an inappropriate thing to do. If the agent acted responsibly under the circumstances, then let the investigation conclude that this was the case. This is standard procedure in many cases where a police officer fires shots in self defense. What is everyone so afraid of?

Thats an easy one. It's no longer about exonerating the agent involved, but political grandstanding by the president of Mexico declaring guilt and trashing our country before anything is concluded. Someone will pay, and I fear the agent will be the political sacrifice. Read this article :Calderon condemns border killing, ties it to Ariz. immigration law Calderon is making outrageous claims against BP agents, in that article he called the illegal immigrants death "torture and killing".
