Maybe me staying here instead of fleeing damages my credibility. No, there's something charming about irrationality, you don't know why you do something but you must.

22% of Australians are first-generation immigrants, but 24% were born overseas. I suspect the situation is similar in New Zealand where 23% are born overseas, so perhaps only 21% are first-generation immigrants. In the US, in 2002, 11.8% were foreign-born nationally, but this is not distributed evenly. Foreign-born residents are 26.9% in California, 20.9% in New York, 18.9% in New Jersey, and 17.9% in both Florida and Hawaii. These are among the most wealthy states per capita. Immigrants go where the jobs are, and many successful businesses are founded by immigrants. States with some of the lowest percentage of foreign-born residents include Mississippi 1.1%, West Virginia 1.2%, and Montana 1.6%. usgovinfo.about.com Which is one reason California more closely resembles Australia and New Zealand politically and culturally, along with incidental similarities in climate and terrain. .
