About 75% are from Latin America not 80% and there are quite a few from Asia as well namely the Philippines, India, China, Korea, and Vietnam but everyone is busy hating on the Mexicans they're about 60%.

It's funny how the conservatives on this board blame the left for the illegal alien situation but systematically fail to acknowledge the fact that it's rich Republican business owners who hire them in the first place. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have an immigration problem.

THIS.

The only people I know that have hired 'illegals' for cheap labour are my cheap conservative neighbors.

The only undocumented they are complaining about are those from Latin America if you notice you will never see these folks single out Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. because they fear the voting demographics will shift in states like Texas and Florida and screw up their electoral college shenanigans.

Oh, just stop it! If you think it's only Republicans that hire illegal aliens for profit you are badly mistaken. Pelosi just for one example has been know to hire them for her grape vineyards. Jobs aren't the only thing that bring illegal aliens here birthright citizenship for their kids and benefits do also. All of these incentives need to be removed.


No conservative that I know of is just blaming the Democrats for this problem as this problem started decades ago under several administrations. So why do you just blame the Republicans?

Then there’s the asylum thing...

It was a reply to your post below:


"Best guests ent is 11-12 million illegals in the US. They certainly are not all from Mexico and Central America".


What does that have to due with due process or asylum? I merely replied to your remarks that not all illegals are from Mexico and Central America. I gave you the percentages that are.

You are right it isn't JUST conservatives...but conservatives have aided and abetted in creating this mess.......they are equal partners.

This moral high ground now of 'illegals' being criminals is hypocritical.

But it works for Trump.

Agree on the jobs though, I don't see a long line of Americans lining up for roofing jobs this summer.
Roofing used to pay a living wage. Now it pays ten dollars an hour because that is what an illigegal will do it for.

Pew Research puts it at 50% from Mexico.

The number of illegal immigrants from Mexico has been declining while the number from other places has been increasing.

My source says that 60% of illegal aliens in our country already here are Mexicans and other Latinos make up 20%. A total of 80% of illegal aliens in our country are Latinos.


Since we have so many Central Americans crashing our border lately I'm sure those stats are remaining pretty steady for Latinos in general.
