Damn, did Puerto Ricans stop comin to America all of a sudden?
Since people born in Puerto Rico get US Citizenship passports etc.. They are allowed to live in the US without doing any paper work etc.. By stats they are American they are not immigrants.
Some more number crunching (not exactly what my intention was, but I think its interesting anyways.) Man, maybe the census should pay me for the work I'm doing:

Hey thanks for that, something i was really interested in! At 12.5% of the population the % of americans not born in actually born Amercia is actually a lot lower than i thought it would be? The actual numbers however are quite staggering espcially the numbers comming from the remainder of the americas.
On the other side the number of european born americans is a lot lower than i expected? Was their not a massive rush of europeans moving to america after the 2nd world war?
