Yes, most illegal immigrants in the united states are from Mexico. The place is right next door to us so statistically speaking alone by chance they should be the most, but also their culture is preodominately family oriented which leads them to have more children and at a younger age on average. Go to any place in public, let's say Walmart, and see for yourself. I do not understand why a lot of people in class got all uptight about this subject matter during the first few days of class, because it is not derogative at all but only the facts. Most of my friends in life have been hispanic and they even admit to these facts. "You're stereotyping," I heard someone say about this subject matter to someone during class. I don't think that they were, because one just has to simply be open minded to the facts to see. Don't be afraid of what is right in front of you. It is what it is, but if you develop stereotypes from the facts and then fear from stereotypes that is up to you. "If you look at everyone as enemies they will become your enemies," and what I will derive from this old proverb from God knows where is that if you go looking for a fight you will find one in life. Just chill and try not to be a hata, because someone has to be the most in illegal immigration. Are you going to hate whoever calls them out? Peace out.

Well, everywhere I looked online showed that the majority of illegal immigrants are from mexico and central America. Here are some links…. My only thoughts on this are that:
How do we truly know these are true and correct? Truly, We do not know for sure. These are speculations and estimates. Who knows, the number could be higher or lower… But I'm guessing that the numbers are at least quite close, considering most sources are similar in their numbers. Also, in class someone asked why the focus is on Mexico... Well, most of the illegals are from Mexico. Additionally, I believe the article which professor Iachetta referenced had to do with mexican deportation. Here are some links :

I do belive that most immigrants are from mexico,Due to being the neighboring country Mexico to the U.S. and the noticeable difference in quality of life, it is no wonder why for many generations Mexicans have illegally crossed the border. They come to achieve the American dream. Some are satisfied by just achieving a small slice of the American dream because even this is usually better than what they could achieve at home.
