That means most illegals come from Canada and Europe.
I'm smelling racism now.

I'd say it's more of your interpretation of figures that is the problem. As with ALL pro illegals you don't know the difference between LEGAL immigrants and illegal aliens, do you? Pro illegals use the term immigrant to refer to both legal and illegal aliens, just to confuse the issue. So one in seven LEGAL workers in the US are legal immigrants? The number of LEGAL foreign born workers has increased from 13 to 21 million over the past decade with Mexico and Latin America accounting for about 40 percent of the increase?
Where does this indicate anything about illegal aliens?
As I said 10 percent of the Mexican population is in the US illegally and about 67 percent of all illegals in this country are from just ONE COUNTRY, MEXICO.
My figures are from the Center for Immigration Studies. I'd post a link by I'm not allowed to yet for some reason.
