When it comes to immigration statistics, the majority of U.S. residents who were born abroad emigrated from Latin America, with Asia and Europe trailing closely behind, according to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau. Out of more than 36 million U.S. residents born abroad, nearly 20 million came from Latin America and almost 10 million came from Asia. See how the numbers stack up below.

In my opinion every honest-hearted American should come out of their hypocritcal closets in support of Juan Williams. Being fired from his job for speaking his truth is the epidemy of insanity (especially in America) where free speech is supposedly every citizen's right! When does having the COURAGE to speak your truth make you a "sissy" or deserving to lose a job? I think not. There aren't a lot of real men in America these days and I say Juan Williams is one. This comes from a real woman's perspective who recognizes a Real Man when she sees or hears one. I also add that they are rare and few these days especially in the Black population. Although there have been many slurrs heaped upon Mr. Williams, I cannot agree with those who refer to his comments about Muslims as being a slurr. More than likely his concerns were based on factual evidences that in large part would be the cause for his response. The universe (if you will) has responded favorably to the honesty of his statement since it is report
