The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is decorated with Emma Lazarus\u2019s famous 1833 sonnet \u201cThe New Colossus,\u201d which reads in part: \u201cGive me your tired, your poor \/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the occasional flare-up of anti-immigrant nationalism throughout U.S. history, the country has long been a harbor for immigrants seeking opportunities in what then President-elect John F. Kennedy described in 1961 as \u201cthe city upon a hill.\u201d (Here are the <\/span>most famous foreigners who became U.S. citizens<\/span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

But the U.S. is not the only beacon for immigrants. Based on data from 2020, the U.S. ranks 39th among countries with the largest foreign-born populations. About 15.3% of the U.S. population, or about 50.6 million, are foreign born. (Here are the <\/span>states where the most people are immigrants<\/span>.)<\/span><\/p>\n

To determine the countries with the largest foreign-born populations, 24\/7 Wall St. reviewed data on international migrant stock from the United Nations. Countries were ranked based on the foreign-born migrant population as a percentage of their total population in 2020. Data on the size of the refugee population, a subset of the foreign-born population, is also from the U.N. All data is for 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nineteen countries also have larger shares of refugees as a percentage of their foreign-born populations than the U.S., albeit not always under great conditions. For example, 82% of Lebanon\u2019s foreign-born population are refugees, mostly living in camps populated by Syrians who have fled conflict in recent years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Five European countries have among the largest share of refugees as a percentage of their foreign-born populations, between 9% and 14%. By comparison, the United States\u2019 share of refugees as a percentage of foreign-born is just 2.35%. Canada has higher shares of both foreign-born and refugee populations compared to its southern neighbor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifteen European Union member states are among the 50 countries with the largest foreign-born populations with between 12.9% in Greece and Croatia to nearly 48% in Luxembourg, the tiny landlocked country bordering Belgium, Germany, and France. As a wealthy common market with shared open borders, it makes sense that so many EU countries would have such large shares of foreign-born residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six of the top 10 countries with the highest share of foreign-born populations are small population-wise, including Luxembourg and Bahrain, or they are European microstates like Liechtenstein, bordering Austria and Switzerland. Singapore, the wealthy Southeast Asia city-state, comes in at No. 10, with a foreign-born population accounting for 43% of the country. The other states among this top 10 are all in the Gulf region, a popular destination for foreign laborers and professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite its relatively low ranking, the United States is indisputably a major draw for immigrants. With a population of 331 million, the U.S. is the most populous country to rank on the list. No other country with a population above 84 million makes this list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are the largest foreign-born populations.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n
