Nearly one in eight people in the US born outside the country

This is a truly amazing statistic. As the United States becomes a , new studies show that some 12% of the people residing in the US are born outside the country. India born people account for some 4% of the immigrants.

The study puts the number of illegal immigrants between 9 to 13 million of the 35 million total imigrants. Of the 1.8 million South Asians (desis), India-born people represent FOBiness at a whopping 1.4 million.

From that 1.4 million people, keep in mind that 0.4 million came in the past 5 years. Supposedly, the last 5 years had the highest immigration numbers in the history of the United States. Looks like we did not miss the boat..... ok.... bad joke.
