I'm not myself Mexican, but I find this offensive, nonetheless.

http://www.houston-press.com/2008-02...ask-a-mexican/

A stereotype for illegal immigrants is that they are all Mexican and that all Mexican immigrants are undocumented. From this it is assumed that any people preoccupied with immigration reform or that will benefit from immigration reform are Mexican, which is just flat out wrong. I'm curious to see a very rough estimates of the actual proportions of people on this site, in terms of nationality. Let's see what this poll will reveal.

Hey I did something like this a while back, but out of sheer curiosity.

Actual studies have been done, with Mexicans coming in at around 53%, other Latin Americans around 20%, Asians, particularly Chinese, Indians, and Filipinos coming next around I forget how many percent, then Africans at I think 3%, and "others", which generally includes Canucks and Europeans at less than 3%.

In my observations, this site is a little more diverse than the general undocumented population in terms of national origins. Not sure if that reflects the diversity of the dreamer population as a whole, though it's possible.
