Graph

This pie graph shows national origins of illegal immigrants in the year 2004. The graph shows the percent of immigrants in the United States. Mexican immigrants have the biggest percent. The percent of Mexicans in the U.S is 57%, saying 5.9 million Mexicans are in the U.S illegally. The second highest immigrant group is other Latin American with the percent of 24, and is 2.5 million people in the United States. Asia immigrants make up 1.0 million in the U.S and make up 9% in the graph. Europe and Canada are the second last. They are 6% in our graph and they make up 0.6 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. The last immigrant group in the United States is Africa and other, who make 4% and there are only 0.4 million immigrants in the U.S.
The data I got is easy to understand. It has different countries with the percent they cover in the United States Illegally. I don't think the source is reliable because it shows information from 2004. And the source doesn't seem reliable because I haven’t heard of it. The graph explained to me why the government has very high political acumen against the Mexicans and other Latin Americans, and it is because they are the most illegal group in the United States. The graph also shows that immigrants circumnavigate from all over the world to get to the United States. Even though they don't have a high percent in the U.S. they still come here illegally.
