U.S. immigration is less welcoming than 24 major nations. Trump’s plan would put us behind 28.

From February , The Washington Post reports:

America takes in fewer immigrants as a share of its population than most economically developed countries, and new proposals from Congress and the White House — several of which were rejected by the Senate on Thursday — would push the nation further toward the back of the pack.

Under the status quo, the United States welcomes about 3.3 immigrants annually for every 1,000 current residents, which puts it 25th among developed nations in welcoming immigrants. Only 10 countries of the 35 in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, a group of developed nations, have lower immigration rates per capita, according to projections based on OECD data.

After all, America is not a nation of immigrants.
