Your question reflects your lack of knowledge of REAL current events regarding illegal aliens, unless you are trying to spread racist rhetoric. .
If 95% of all illegals are Hispanics, it only stands to reason that 95% of those deported are guess what....Hispanic.
Do you honestly believe that ONLY Hispanics are deported?? If you do, you need to check readily available statistics.
Last year, illegal aliens from OVER 100 COUNTRIES WERE DEPORTED.

They're not. What makes you think that? They just had a white family on TV last night. They're from the Ukraine. Speak perfect English. Couldn't tell them from any other white American. Someone made a goof in their paperwork, or something wasn't renewed many years ago or something. They were just rounded up like criminals. Clearly this is an extreme. You probably hear more about "Hispanics" because they are the majority of the illegal population. More of them means more news stories about them. In addition, SOME of them have political, linguistical and racial motivations for coming here and not just to make a better life. They can come here easier than people from other countries and races.

They're not the "only" illegals, but they are the majority. Just today, I had someone turn in a company that hired a bunch (I think it was 10 or 12...... busy day) of suspected illegal Nigerians. I also got word, and waiting on confirmation, about a group of suspected illegal Irish working with fake documents. And, as usual, a few landscapers picking people up from a known illegal site, that group of what looks like 8, are Hispanic......
In all 3 cases, I'll do what I always do, confirm the information as best I can, and turn all the information passed my way to ICE.
For the record, and I try and make people understand whenever I can...... Minutemen are not law enforcement, we do work closely with several law enforcement agencies, but only in that we act as the eyes and ears for an already overwhelmed Border Patrol, ICE, and a few other departments.

According to the Pew Hispanic center studies about 55-60% of all illegals are Mexican and about another 20% or so are Hispanic from other countries.
thats75-80% of all illegals being hispanic.

Well most illegal immigration is from south america, which happens to be populated by hispanics/latinos.
But they are not the only ones on Customs & Border Protection Radar for illegal entry, so are the Chinese, Korean's, Philipino's etc.

They aren't, however, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, 75% of the illegals here are from Latin America. So by far the most are Hispanic.

They aren't. It just seems like it because they outnumber all other illegals and they are more "in our faces". Yes, they do multiply like rabbits and they should be penalized for that too.
It is against the law to enter the country, live in the country and to hire, harbor and help illegal immigrants, regardless of what country they come from. The law is the law and as the mayor of a California town said. The victims of their crimes deserve to have our laws enforced and the legal immigrants deserve to have their laws enforced. Law-breakers don't deserve preferential treatment and the Hispanics are the most vocal in their demands for preferential treatment. LULAC, LaRAZA, MALDEF, ICIRR, the Catholic Church. All these organizations should be tried for war crimes and harboring fugitives and aiding and abetting fugitives. And there are many more who fit this bill as well.

They are not the only ones targetted as illegals, other races and nationals are also deported as illegal aliens. but the number of hispanics far outweighs others, so it looks like only hispanics are targetted, I know lots of africans are deported also.

Hispanics aren't targeted........it's a matter of simple common sense when the vast majority are. Besides the facts they commit more crimes than other illegals. When you're the majority with the biggest problem children......it just "seems" they're getting targeted. Trust me......they ignore more than they target.

They are the ones mostly in the news. As a Law Enforcement Officer there is a smaller group of illegal aliens also such as Russian and smaller groups on Europeans.
The Dominicans, and Central Americans are included in that group as are Brazilians etc..
We are so close to Mexico with a large border area it only stands to reason that more of them enter illegally.
