In 1996, the most recent data I could find (ie - the link I posted) Mexicans made up 54% of the illegal immigrant population with approximately 2.7 million people. Canada accounted for 2.4% with 120 thousand. If you click the link and just go to the last page it has the top twenty countries of origin and their contributions. Also in the report, of the 2.7 million illegals from Mexico, only 16 percent are overstays, meaning the person entered legally in the first place. 84% entered illegally from the get-go. Central America also has a low 26% of overstays with 74% entering illegally. The rest of the countries add up to 91% overstays, meaning only 9% entered illegally in the first place. And while the report doesn't address where those entering the country come through illegally, I am going to guess that it was at the Candian and Mexican Borders.
As for how I got here? Powerful white people seizing land of course! I have a couple of lines that go back to the Mayflower.
Canadians = White has nothing to do with it.
