This does not surprise me one bit at all. if you notice a fair number of Illegals EWI are not even Hispanic or from the Americas at all. They are from Asia and Africa trying to slip across the border. I will dig up a LA Times article from a few weeks ago where they went to the Federal detention facility in Victorville expecting to see a large Illegal Hispanic population, but when they got there it was  predominantly Southern Asians or basically Indians.

On a recent visit to the federal prison in Victorville, U.S. Rep. Mark Takano was caught by surprise. Of the hundreds of immigrants detained there, he learned, possibly 40% had traveled from India seeking asylum.The Riverside Democrat had expected to see a high concentration of Central American detainees, many of them fathers who had been separated from their children. Not all of the men spoke English.

The group appointed a representative, who told Takano that they were supporters of two different political parties and had been persecuted by India’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party. “They said they were often bullied into doing things that were immoral,” Takano said. “They would have to carry drugs, perpetrate violence against others.” According to immigration officials and attorneys, there has been an increase in recent years of Indian nationals crossing into the U.S. through Mexico — although they represent a small percentage of those detained overall. Indian citizens are among thousands of migrants from Haiti, Africa and Asia now trekking across Latin America, taking advantage of travel routes forged by Latino immigrants.

By early August, about 380 of the 680 migrants at the Victorville facility were Indian nationals, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, sent there as civil rather than criminal detainees pending the outcome of their immigration cases. In addition, about 40% of the detainees at Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Imperial Valley facility are from India, a spokeswoman said. Nearly 20% of detainees at ICE’s Adelanto processing center are Indian
