>And they trickled in instead of millions per year. In 1847 New York had a population of ~375,000 and had 52,000 Irish and 53,000 German immigrants in one year. Same year Boston with a population of ~115,000 had almost 40,000 irish immigrants. During that time there was Irish immigration alone equal to about 3% of the US population(650,000 immigrants vs 17m). The current EU situation is equal to about 0.2% of the population(1m vs 500m) |
