“Uh, what country do you think this is?”

“Millennials’ diversity sets them apart from other generations.

Many U.S. Millennials are immigrants or the children of immigrants who arrived in the United States as part of an upsurge in immigration that began in the 1940s.

The share of U.S. Millennials age 20 to 34 who were born in a

foreign country is now around 15 percent – much higher than it was in 1950 and near the peak of almost 20 percent seen in 1910

during the last great wave of immigration to the United States.”
