What is the evidence for this? The United States has had high rates of legally approved immigration since 1964, second only to the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth centuries in rate of immigration as a percentage of already arrived population.

Maybe it's my own biased opinion, but I am referring to the large bankroll you need to prove to INS that you will not become a ward of the state for Chinese, whereas I have heard Europeans and Canadians can come as the please.
