At least 58,000 men from Middle Eastern nations are in the United States illegally, nearly 10 times the number that the United States is seeking to deport, census data show.

In its first estimates by nationality of the underground population, the Census Bureau reported that 114,818 Middle Eastern men and women are in the country illegally. That represents a little more than 1 percent of the total number of illegal immigrants who are counted as living in the United States.

The estimates do not include the number of illegal immigrants from Pakistan and from the Arab nations of northern Africa. Immigration officials said there were 40,000 illegal immigrants from Pakistan.

Whatever the grand total, it far outstrips the 6,000 Middle Eastern men recently sought by the Justice Department for ignoring deportation orders.
