These diagrams show the immense growth in the numbers of our foreign-born since 

 1850 and the relative proportion from each of the principal sources. One-third of the people 

 of the United States are foreign-born, or have one or two parents who were foreign-born 

 (see page 267). The diagrams, pages 265-270, are from the Bureau of the Census.
