I can't site a source, but being a half-time California resident, its in the news a lot. Although the border with Mexico is a source of the majority of illegals, they are not all Mexicans crossing there. All of central America works their way north, then crosses the Mexican border- so there are plenty from Nicaragua, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Guatemala, etc. But because they cross the border with Mexico, statistics can sometimes appear to say they are all Mexicans.
