1 out of 10

10%. Not a particularly impressive percentage. Particularly if you're playing basketball or baseball, even football as 10% is a pitifully horrible completion percentage (unless you're Ryan Leaf).

But it struck me as an interesting number in the context I heard it today. Heard it proclaimed on the radio today, so must confess I'm unsure of it's accuracy or origin. The factoid goes something like this: 1 out of every 10 people born in Mexico, alive today is residing in the United States; legally or otherwise.

Startling to say the least if it's true.
