COUNTRIES FROM WHICH THE FEWEST IMMIGRANTS CAME TO THE UNITED STATES (1991-2000)
Over 9 million people officially immigrated to the United States between 1991 and 2000. However, some nations were not well represented, so there probably won’t be a “Little San Marino” or “Little Funafuti” in the U.S. anytime soon.
The common factor is that these countries all have low populations (and thus simply cannot send very many people to the United States).
