38.5 million foreign born residents.  Why are immigrants still pouring into the United States from countries all over the world?

no dummy

you have two main kinds of people coming to the US:

the well educated ones coming over to take advantage of the inequality in the US at the expense of the native  working class idiots like you and PIP who provide their work for peanuts. E.g. A run of the mill  MD in Germany will make $150K per year but in the US the sky is the limit since the health system is designed to make everyone in the supply side get rich

the ones coming out of desperation from shit countries , which further undermine how much the native  working class idiots like you can ask for their work

both in order to make the top 0.01% very very rich

that is why 'they' come and why 'you' are being fucked over

but hey I cant loose on this one. If you disagree with me I will just be happy that you are dumb enough to deserve your lot. If you ever agree with me then you need to recognize you were very wrong. I bet on number uno, but who cares

That really doesn't mean anything, the point of the thread is that an overwhelming majority of immigrants from around the world want to come here.

Population of Canada, France, Germany, and the UK: 244,286,331
Foreign Born Population: 28,223,000
%0.11

Population of the US: 311,591,917
Foreign Born Population: 38,355,000
%0.12

No what I meant was average 3 out of the 4 you mentioned so not including the UK.

I get your point and I am totally agreeing with you. Everyone is dissing the US yet everyone wants to go there. lol, do not mind me just being a smartass that iss all  ;D

I went by the percentages on the side of your chart;

Germany   12%

France       10%

Cananda    18%

so 12 + 10 + 18 = 40,    40 divided by 3 = 13 %, so average is 13 %


America has 12 %,   but like I said just fooling about, I agree with your point completely  :)

I'm saying your double figure comes in from the form the fact that chicago's metro is double the size of dallas's.

It's absurd, just as citing immigrants states, while ignoring population.

Vancouver is and it's surrounding areas is just one area. Your pinched by a boarder, mountains, and ocean, it's unique circumstances. But it's about as typical of canada, as the Beverly hills are of america.

The place is one giant housing bubble, built up by asian investors. Place is hardly even canadian.

Are you trying to say something about income versus cost of living? Because right now, what you're saying makes no sense.

FYI - I don't believe those numbers include the amount of illegal immigrants that are speculated to be living in the states right now... which would double the number they are using.

I have no idea about your teams, quite frankly I don't know shit about anything Canadian outside of what I've seen while visiting (nor do I particularly care, Canada is well outside of my boundaries of giving a shit, not intended as a flame or anything.. I just don't care enough about Canada to pay attention to anything that goes on up there. Lol.)

My point, is that they were rioting because their team lost, and they fucked with dudes truck.

Point taken, however I don't think it was the team loosing, more opportune boredom, and the fact that people paid like 300 bucks a ticket for a game that was over in the first five minutes. If you were watching the game, anyone with a clue knew, that their were riots just minutes into the game.

Anyhow if you can't tell I despise vancouver, especially there Phaggy hockey team.

Canada is essentially a US suburb, not a bad thing, it's well run, just nothing more than that.

Bruins for life anyhow.

As far as Vancouver... It felt pretty Americanized.

We should accept the Mexicans that are here already. Make them get ID cards and tax them but not make then Citizens. That way we get at least something.
 Secondly, only let those who agree to be in the military or have some academic merit. Fill the armed forces or recruit the smartest engineers, doctors, scientist to advance technology and industry.

Lastly, all the rest will comprise from petitions from those families that are already citizens and we can sort thru that mess to get the cream of the crop. ie no family on welfare trying to bring their family from <insert country> just to weigh our already taxed infrastructure.

thats what I would do different
