- logicchains 6y agoIf we use "percentage of the population born overseas" as a metric, quite a few countries have larger immigration programs than the US: https://data.oecd.org/migration/foreign-born-population.htm https://data.oecd.org/migration/foreign-born-population.htm
- pnako 6y agoYour source is the OECD, which is basically just Western, developed countries. If you look at the entire world, the picture is different.
- anigbrowl 6y agoThe US has had a huge immigration program (although it has waxed and waned) over many years because settling vast tracts of land requires a lot of human labor. Same story in Australia.
