I don't like that website but you're right, the UK are about the same as the US with just 15 or 16%.

I thought they were the same as the rest of the anglosphere but they're not! Shouldn't have picked them to make my point, should have picked Australia after all. Will edit.

My point still stands though. He had a really low bar of comparison, and if he knows immigration is what makes you strong then the obvious implication is he should be amping for more immigration.

Idk it just seemed like a really weird speech.
