This is an interesting visualization.
1/ But, I wonder how it compares to a stacked area chart, in terms of understandability.
2/ I wonder what it would look like in population-adjusted terms ("100 immigrants" in 1830's-population-US is different than today).
3/ Goes to show how large the Asian immigrant fraction is.
4/ It does demonstrate well just how relatively little immigration we have in the last ~20 years.
