Pancha, that is exactly what I used to think. Before April of this year, when I started looking at government statistics and everything PRETTY MUCH was the same (when you adjusted for dates, etc.) I had no idea so many of the Hispanics were illegal immigrants.
Mind you, we have and always will have a lot of Hispanics, and the bulk of the 1986 amnesty folks were here and were legalized, etc. However, when the Los Angeles City Supervisor testified that Los Angeles County alone spent a net of a billion dollars a year on illegal immigrants, that wasn't drawn from air, and it didn't even include education of the children of illegal immigrants born here, which is estimated as twice the number of illegal immigrant children here.
When you see government studies saying 50% of the Mexican nationals in this country are here illegally, and 80% of the ones who arrived in the last 3 years are here illegally, and put that together with the growth of our Mexican national population, you come out with some truly amazing statistics.
I don't know WHO is an illegal (except one pizza delivery guy who was positively glowing the night the Senate Bill passed, whom I strongly suspect, but not in a bad way.) However, the statistics, by taking those supposed to be here and deleting them from total enrollment, etc., are pretty compelling as to the size of the problem.

No, I do not live in the area of Los Angeles!
And no, people do not know anymore which Hispanic are legal and which are not! The sheer number of 15 to 20 million illegal Hispanics in the USA will soon make people simply assume that all Hispanics are illegal!
Sorry for those who are legally in the US and have to suffer under this assumption!

I live in a city just 50 minutes from LA in the LA County, and yes the majority of the problems around my neighborhood and around the schools and hospitals have been created by the illegals. There was a family in my neighborhood that had about 30 to 50 people, an illegal smuggling ring, living in one of the three bedroom homes in my community, none of them knew proper American English. Across the street from them and next door to me, lives a family of 10 to 20 people, that also do not know English, also living in a three bedroom house, that has garbage sitting alll over the place. These next door neighbors throw dirty diapers and condoms into my backyard and play Tex Mex music at all hours of the night and park their cars where they are not allowed to. I know it is them because the neighbors next to me are never home. Am I mad and pissed off about these illegals coming into my country and not knowing English and crowding up places? You bet I am.

It's nice to have a scape goat. But actually 35 million or so people live in the state and the roads are not designed to carry that capacity. Best thing to do is move to Mexico where there is less traffic.
