With so many illegal immigrants migrating to the U.S, what percentage is estimated to be Mexican? From Mexico?

Question

Is there any other race or heritage that is coming in just as fast as the spanish speaking folks. I use this term becuase although a lot of the immigrants speak spanish, a lot of them are from different hispanic countries and I guess not just Mexico.

Answer 1

People come to this country from all corners of the globe. Many do it legally and for legitimate reasons ie. education or their job moved here. Many hoever chose to cheat the system andnot only come here on an illegal or misrepresented basis, but forge documents which make them look like citizens and entitles them to services they have not earned, while at the same time shirking civic responsibilities like paying taxed.

Many people reason that this is because they have given up hope in their country and desire to make a beter life. That is just a BAD excuse. Even when that is the case, are we to be their welfare system? In most cases these people are fleeing countries that are screwed up because THEY and their ancestors did not care to improve society. So who are they when their own society fails them due to their own laziness and lack of self-respect to come and begin to tax the resources that our ancestors ave built up for us and that we continue to build upon?

Answer 2

well I'll answer this way there were more illegals from Mexico that came into this country than Mexico had deaths last year i find that to be amazing. No wonder the Mexican government hands out flyer's on how to sneak across the border they are getting rid of over a million people a year.

Answer 3

Too many. I have no issues with people from other countries at ALL but there is NO GOOD REASON why they are illegal. They need to get a green card and accommodate for us because we are already turning everything into English AND Spanish and they don't have to learn a word of English if they don't want to. It's absurd.

Answer 4

From what i will see she is calling that u . s . a . do extra for the voters of Mexico here in violation of rules than what Mexico is keen do for them.She could be making this speech to the Mexican congress approximately why are maximum of packing up and leaving ?

Answer 5

I believe the estimate is about 70% from Mexico, or that could have been 70% from Latin America as a whole. Asians are a distant second.

Illegal Immigrants are Paying a Lot More Taxes Than You Think
Eight million illegals pay Social Security, Medicare, and income taxes
By Shikha Dalmia


Denying public services to people who pay their taxes is an affront to America's bedrock belief in fairness. But many "pull-up-the-drawbridge" politicians want to do just that when it comes to illegal immigrants.

The fact that illegal immigrants pay taxes at all will come as news to many Americans. A stunning two-thirds of illegal immigrants pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes. Yet, nativists like Congressman Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., have popularized the notion that illegal aliens are a colossal drain on the nation's hospitals, schools and welfare programs — consuming services that they don't pay for.

In reality, the 1996 welfare reform bill disqualified illegal immigrants from nearly all means-tested government programs including food stamps, housing assistance, Medicaid and Medicare-funded hospitalization. The only services that illegals can still get are emergency medical care and K-12 education.

Nevertheless, Tancredo and his ilk pushed a bill through the House criminalizing all aid to illegal aliens — even private acts of charity by priests, nurses and social workers. Potentially, any soup kitchen that offers so much as a free lunch to an illegal could face up to five years in prison and seizure of assets.

The Senate bill that recently collapsed would have tempered these draconian measures against private aid. But no one — Democrat or Republican — seems to oppose the idea of withholding public services. Earlier this year, Congress passed a law that requires everyone who gets Medicaid — the government-funded health care program for the poor — to offer proof of U.S. citizenship so we can avoid "theft of these benefits by illegal aliens," as Rep. Charlie Norwood, R-Ga., puts it.

But, immigrants aren't flocking to the United States to mooch off the government. According to a study by the Urban Institute, the 1996 welfare reform effort dramatically reduced the use of welfare by undocumented immigrant households, exactly as intended. And another vital thing happened in 1996: the Internal Revenue Service began issuing identification numbers to enable illegal immigrants who don't have Social Security numbers to file taxes.

One might have imagined that those fearing deportation or confronting the prospect of paying for their safety net through their own meager wages would take a pass on the IRS' scheme. Not so. Close to 8 million of the 12 million or so illegal aliens in the country today file personal income taxes using these numbers, contributing billions to federal coffers. No doubt they hope that this will one day help them acquire legal status — a plaintive expression of their desire to play by the rules and come out of the shadows.

What's more, aliens who are not self-employed have Social Security and Medicare taxes automatically withheld from their paychecks. Since undocumented workers have only fake numbers, they'll never be able to collect the benefits these taxes are meant to pay for. Last year, the revenues from these fake numbers — that the Social Security administration stashes in the “earnings suspense file” — added up to 10 percent of the Social Security surplus. The file is growing, on average, by more than $50 billion a year.

Beyond federal taxes, all illegals automatically pay state sales taxes that contribute toward the upkeep of public facilities such as roads that they use, and property taxes through their rent that contribute toward the schooling of their children. The non-partisan National Research Council found that when the taxes paid by the children of low-skilled immigrant families — most of whom are illegal — are factored in, they contribute on average $80,000 more to federal coffers than they consume.

Yes, many illegal migrants impose a strain on border communities on whose doorstep they first arrive, broke and unemployed. To solve this problem equitably, these communities ought to receive the surplus taxes that federal government collects from immigrants. But the real reason border communities are strained is the lack of a guest worker program. Such a program would match willing workers with willing employers in advance so that they wouldn't be stuck for long periods where they disembark while searching for jobs.

The cost of undocumented aliens is an issue that immigrant bashers have created to whip up indignation against people they don't want here in the first place. Politicians ought to set the record straight: Illegals are not milking the government. If anything, it is the other way around.
