Even if we round up the number from the US to 30% of the total, then 70% are NOT from the US, which certainly is no where near the misrepresented number of 90% from the US.

I agree. I do not think either of the numbers 17% or 90% are correct. But it will not stop either side. Maybe if we do a better job of securing our borders that it would help solve the problem.
