14% of the population being foreign born doesn't seem that unsurprising or unexpected. Based on your comment I thought it would be much higher. My opinion: I am a believer that immigrants are the lifeblood of America and are the secret sauce that make it great. It's a nation for immigrants, by immigrants. I think we should encourage immigration on the basis that brain power is the resource that US needs and one that will be driving the growth of the next century.
