Sort by "immigrants as a percentage of national population."
In fact, Sweden and the US have almost identical immigrant percentages. Switzerland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Austria all have higher immigrant percentages than the US, and all these countries have public health care systems.

"Racism" is not a general purpose swear word, any more than is fascism. And even if my motives were naked bigotry, Mexican is a political affiliation, not a race. The appropriate accusation would be to call me an American nationalist. > Switzerland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Austria all have higher immigrant percentages than the US ... Their immigrants are heavily skewed towards the First World, and screened for acceptability. None of them share a border with a famously corrupt third-world country.
