A nation of immigrants

Fascinating chart.

http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2009/04/percentages-of-countries-native.html

30+% of those born in Guyana, 20+% of those born in Trinidad, 20+% of those born in Jamaica, 15+% of those born in El Salvador, 10+% of those born in Mexico, 8+% of those born in Cuba, 7+% of those born in the Dominican Republic, and 6+% of those born in Haiti now reside in the U.S.

These are not percentages of those descended from immigrants from those countries, but the actual percentages of those born in those countries who now reside in the U.S.

Almost one third of the population of Guyana moved to America?
