Breaking Down Immigration
A fascinating chart from GOOD.is on the sources of legal immigration. Saw this in a tweet from @MichaelHyatt.
For example, who would have thought that 188 people immigrating from Canada in 2008 would be classified as refugees, or seeking asylum? Did the “Blame Canada” song really upset them or something? 
The 26,155 legal immigrants from the Koreas may or may not have included my son. His adoption was finalized in 2008, but he came home in 2007. Who knows how CIS decides to count that.
Notice the remarkably low number of refugees from the Koreas. That would be higher if North Korea allowed their people the freedom to leave. Being starved by your own government isn’t exactly an appealing life.
