This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Hah keep up Canada!

I think we're around 20 %.

Specifically the percentage born overseas not descended from immigrants. Percentage of noncitizens or temporary migration would be interesting too.

This doesn't seem right ... shouldn't the US be in here, after all everyone immigrated there from elsewhere. And Mexico? hell and most of south America as well.

This is people who weren't born in the country and are now living there (I assume legally).

oh, I get it ... the "NOW" is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.

Not really. A person born in a country didn't immigrate there, so why would they be considered an immigrant?
