Yes, as I said in my post, there are 20 million illegals at last estimate. That's a lot. I erred in saying they were all Mexicans, though. I found a breakdown here: en.wikipedia.org Mexico 6,840,000 57% Latin & Central Amer. 3,000,000 24% Asia 1,080,000 9% Europe + Canada 720,000 6% Rest of World 480,000 4% Considering that 50%, or 10M, of the total are from Mexico, Latin Am, and Central Am, I think it would be more accurate to say Latino, but if you want to call them all Mexican, that's your choice. I know when my Japanese friends get called Chinese or Korean, they get really upset, though. If you are going to label people, you might as well be accurate.
