- graeme 7y agoDo you have any numbers to support your statement? I just looked up migration stats from the UN, and found: 1. The vast bulk of migrants do not go to the US 2. International share of migrants has grown much faster than the US share The US has a large overall number of immigrants as it is a large country, but per capita many countries are taking in more. Canada takes in about 3x per capita for example.
