Well this is interesting; we always think of illegals as being Mexican but times they are a changin'....to quote an old song.

Working?  I don't think the article specifies who is working or where they are from.  I was surprised to find out about so many Indians and Chinese being here illegally.

Really?  We don't hear about that in the news. Where are the immigrants coming from?

Mexicans, as a nationality, do still make up the majority of undocumented immigrants.  The article is grouping immigrants from all other nations into one collective.

No it is not.  

 

Their analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that last year, there were 5.6 million Mexican nationals living in the U.S. without authorization – half of the unauthorized immigrant population in 2016. Mexicans have been the majority of that population since 2005, according to the Pew report.

Although Mexicans still make up the largest group of unauthorized immigrants, numbers from Mexico have been on the decline since the Great Recession began in late 2007.

The number of unauthorized immigrants from other countries has been on the rise since the end of the recession, hitting an estimated 5.7 million in 2016. Immigrants from Central America and Asia – largely from India and China — are two of the main drivers of that growth.

It really doesn't say where the immigrants are coming from though.  And it seems the majority come to NZ on work visas.  Do you have a lot of visa overstays?
