The United States receives less than 2% of the world's migrants on an annual basis. * As of March 2000, 10.4% of the U.S. population was foreign-born. By comparison, from 1870 to 1920, the foreign-born population made up approximately 15% of the total population.
"And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt." -- Leviticus 19:33-34
