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.
Well, the terms used are "Immigrants and foreign born workers"
I think the term "illegal" was avoided for public relations purposes.
Sorry for the confusion.
