Yes, I wasn't presuming otherwise, which is why I specified "less famously immigrant-friendly" instead of "less immigrant-friendly." I simply haven't heard as much about the immigration there even though I'm American, probably because Buenos Aires is a much larger city.

EDIT: Also, in case my "on a more serious note" didn't make it explicitly clear, that entire sentence about Boise was a joke.

EDIT 2: I might as well add that I looked this up [1], and Boise ranks 175th in immigration as a percentage of the metropolitan population or 101st as a percentage of cities, just among metropolitan areas (MSAs) or cities in the US. That's not exactly a "huge immigrant population" by my account.

I understood you were joking. And, as with any forum of smart, nerdy people, there is an inevitable percentage who will point out how some part of your joke does not fit with observable facts.
