We have 45M+ immigrants in the US. This does not count children of immigrants, only people who were born in another country and now live in the US.
That is 5x the total population of Switzerland.
And no offense taken, I've heard Switzerland is an amazing place!
- sumuyuda 2y agoI’m not for sure what you are trying to say with that statistic, but Switzerland has a much higher percentage of immigrants. 40% have a migration background, you can see the stats here: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/population/migration-integration/by-migration-status.html https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/en/home/statistics/population/m...

- ahmeneeroe-v2 2y agoYour personal immigration preference is not worth mentioning since we have actual statistics on the subject
