I'm not talking about color/race. I'm assuming the 50k is accurate from Ireland, however, I don't think very many people are willing to concede that there are only 50,000 Mexicans here illegally. That's what I meant by the 'drop in the bucket' quote; it's a lot bigger than 50k.

Would that 50,000 be a "drop in the bucket" if they were of another color of skin?
