Hawaii Latinos targeted, professor says  

"Latinos have been targeted in the state, which goes against the demographics," said Das Gupta, noting that most immigrants to Hawaii hail from Asia. "The numbers of Mexicans are really, really small. So it's very curious that this community is targeted this way." The Pew Hispanic Center pegged the number of undocumented residents in Hawaii at 40,000 in 2010, and researchers estimate that roughly 10 percent were Mexican, Das Gupta said.

Most of those new permanent residents -- 4,399 -- were from the Philippines, with 864 from China, 493 from Japan, 233 from South Korea and 158 from Vietnam. Just 53 were from Mexico.
