> The US is an extreme outlier in accepting migrants.

The US is currently at a recent peak of approx 15% immigrants, much as it was in the 1860-1920 period.

This is less extreme than, say, Australia at 25% population born overseas.

Congrats, you found a more extreme outlier. You can bring up Canada too, but that doesn't change my point.
The US is more or less the same as France per capita.

Your "extreme" is commonplace.

Does adding Spain, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Singapore, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc. change your point?
