Actually Asians have surpassed Hispanics in immigration numbers.
Regardless of who has been President nothing rational has been done to stem the flow because cheap labor trumps Patriotism. Why did China go from a third world country in the fifties to a global power? Because we can make stuff for sale at WalMart cheaper in China than the U.S. and China got rich. The decision to move manufacturing to China was made by corporate decision makers of both political philosophies.

I think your basics are correct, and it will get worse...
"It seems as though many companies that unlawfully employ illegal immigrants are being let off the hook by the Obama administration, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has conducted just a fraction of workplace audits compared to previous years."
"In the first five months of fiscal year 2015, ICE only conducted 181 workplace audits and brought charges against just 27 employers, according to Jessica Vaughan, policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies.
Whereas in 2013, ICE audited 3,127 companies and arrested 179 employers for employing illegal immigrants, Vaughan said, adding that the "number of employer fines collected by ICE also has dropped by more than half."
"The administration's near discontinuation of worksite enforcement means that employers now face very little risk in hiring illegal workers and have little incentive to abide by the law," Vaughan wrote."
