Handout 3.5 Immigration and Other Nations

The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, but we are not alone in that regard. Other countries are also the destination of immigrants. The total number of immigrants residing in the U.S., as a percentage of total U.S. population, is much lower than that of some other countries. Immigrants make up nearly twice the percentage of the total population in Canada than in the U.S. The percentage of foreign-born in Australia is nearly triple that of the U.S.
