100 Years Of Immigrants In America – [GRAPHS]

NPR’s Planet Money have a couple of new charts showcasing the change in the immigration as a share of the U.S. population over the past century. Given the rhetoric on immigration it’s interesting to note how this percentage has barely changed over the past 100 years.
