Some Demographic Data of Interest to Phone Card Providers

I came across some interesting demographic data on foreign born immigration to the US that I though might be interesting to people in the phone card business:

2005 Statistics

* Foreign Born Population of the US represents: 12.4% of the countries total population
* 53.5% of Foreign born peoples come from Latin America, followed by 26.7% from Asia, 13.6% from Europe, and 3.5% from Africa.
* 30.7% of foreign born people came from Mexico, followed by 4.9% from China and 4.5% from the Philippines.
* The amount of foreign born Mexicans in the United States is actually decreasing... went from 3,784,835 in the 90s to 2,796,118 in this decade (granted the decade isn't over but in total % wise of total immigrants, there is definitely a decrease)

To view the source of these statistics and other interesting stats please visit: migrationinformation.org
