U.S. States with the Most Immigrants

Probably explains why it's the state which has grown in population the least.

Massachusetts has traditionally been full of immigrants. Nobody in Connecticut speaks English.

I grew up in Connecticut from the 1970s to mid-1990s. My schoolmates and teachers spoke Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Italian, Arabic (mostly from Lebanon), Albanian, Serbo-Croatian, Jamaican Patois, French, Vietnamese, Korean, Cantonese, Tagalog, Mohawk (obv. not an immigrant language), Armenian, Lithuanian, and one of the languages from Kenya. There may have been more, but those are what I remember. This was one of the gritty former industrial cities, not the NYC commuter 'burbs or Yale areas. The factories attracted lots of immigrants. More recently the Ecuadorians I knew in NYC were attracted to the low real estate prices and the Hasids have opened an orthodox shul so Yiddish is now also spoken there. Not indicative of immigration, but still interesting in such a Catholic city.

I think they may have high amounts of immigrants because they both have prestigious universities

The casinos probably hire huge numbers of immigrants on those visas Trump uses for people willing to work for less than minimum wage doing cleaning, landscaping, kitchen work, and then there is the huge amount of construction.

I only missed Hawaii. I always forget about it since it's just sitting there alone in the middle of the Pacific.

I bet it would have been from about 1930-1960; both because there were fewer immigrants in some other states and also because there were huge numbers of immigrants flooding into Chicago. Population has been in steady decline since then, though the Chicago suburbs continue to grow.

Me too. I also tried Illinois in the last minute of the timer. Unfortunately, I didn't get 100%. I missed Massachusetts and Connecticut.

You just did. You got every single letter right.

For those wondering, some states and territories allow legally present noncitizens to vote in non-federal elections. Turnout amongst noncitizens is extremely low (roughly 0.5%). This is all pulled directly from the article Rabble referenced.

"Dreamers, undocumented citizens – and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country – are fearful of voting. So if I vote, will Immigration know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?"

"Not true, and the reason is, first of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself. And there is not a situation where the voting rolls somehow are transferred over and people start investigating, etc. The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who maybe is undocumented, then you have an even greater reason to vote"

Barack Obama

You just spelled it right.
