The majority of undocumented people in the US came legally and overstayed their visa. Illegal border crossings are at a 46 year low.

For the same reason that Asian immigrants don't commit a lot of crimes. It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the culture that people embrace. Whites and Asians tend to embrace traditional family values and the value of education. Blacks and Hispanics (with encouragement from liberalism, in my opinion) tend to embrace a culture that encourages different, less productive, decision-making.

And there you have it. Hooboy.
