    I’d love to see your source on that, but when you go look you’ll find you were waaaaay off and be too embarrassed to reply that you were wrong.

    I’ll point you in the right direction though. According to the United Nations, the USA has over five times more immigrants than the UK. Nearly as many immigrants as the UK has people.

      I’m talking per capita. I’ve now edited the above comment and added a source.

      Sorry for the confusion, I don’t know why I thought that since I was talking about percentages it would be obvious I’m referring to per capita numbers, because re-reading my comment I see it’s ambiguous.

      But come on, have a heart. New Zealand only has 5 million people in it, total. You must think I’m incredibly, mindblowingly stupid if you think I’m saying the US somehow has fewer immigrants than that!
