	Prevalent. Not "prevelant", PREVALENT. Like, they "prevail" in Mexico over other foreign-borns.

	Of course. The only country I didn't get was the single Central American country I didn't try.

	um, guys, its not where mexicans are living now. its the people who are currently living in mexico, but were born in a different country. i can't imagine there are many mexicans in germany, but apparently there are a fair few germans in mexico

	Why does this misinterpretation always happen in all of these quizzes?

	I wasn't surprised where they all came from as much as how few there actually are.

	Interesting! Never would have thought there were so many Asians moving to Mexico.

	forgot italy why would you move to mexico when living in italy

	Havok3595:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 13:22 GMT	14 points
	@epicfatality18: The southern half of Italy has historically been very poor with poor soil and growing conditions. The country isn't all Rome and Florence. And I would bet it is less expensive to move over and try to start in Mexico than to try to break into the significantly wealthier north.

	~450,000 out of 108 million... it seems like a fairly low ratio, but it's actually higher than Brazil's was in 2005 (641,000 out of 186,000), which kind of surprises me.

	South Korea surprised me..... could have guessed for another 5 minutes and probably wouldnt have gotten it

	Spelling errors in titles are very annoying, especially if they've apparently lasted this long as to still exist on a published game that's been posted for at least 13 hours. (Prevalent)

	Those Italian-Mexicans would be the best cooks ever.

	Samsung has a huge factory in Tijuana. I imagine a large number of Korean nationals living in Mexico are employed by either Samsung, LG or one of the Korean oil and gas companies investing in Mexico. 2100 people is not a lot when you consider there are over 8000 Koreans living here in Austin, Texas, a city of barely one million people.

	@Havok3595: There aren't many Italians who have moved to Mexico, where they don't speak the language, for a better life. Most of the non Spanish speaking residents of Mexico are short stay contract workers with multinational corporations or work for embassies or do charity/religious work. The rest are mostly ex-pat retirees.

	I'm surprised Belize didn't make it (even though they are an English-speaking country).

	kagomeshuko:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 23:08 GMT	-1 points
	Good quiz. I'm surprised I got as many as I did!

	Sinistercharlo:	Dec 27th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	4 points
	Nice concept, although eventually I just started guessing the biggest countries I could think of. That strategy worked out pretty well. :D

	hannnnaa:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 00:15 GMT	3 points
	Woot I really didn't expect to get them all on this quiz, but I randomly typed South Korea with 12 seconds left!

	What's wrong with my joke (5th up from this)? Why is it being voted down? Lighten up people :)

	I wandered into this knowing nothing at all, yet I perfected it based on geography
