First of all, polls are not facts. Secondly, I don't quite agree that the majority of illegal immigrants are hispanics, I believe most illegal immigrants are people that come here and over stay their visas. Show some real facts and you can begin a serious dialogue, otherwise, you just sound like a racist.

I don´t beleive it is stereotyping and do not understand anyone who would think it was. BTW, Hispanic refers to an ethnicity/culture, not a race.
