Red versus Blue.

Interesting correlation. And - another version of "Which came first..."

From 24/7 Wall Street:

Because foreigners seeking employment and eventually citizenship in the United States almost always choose communities where they have families or friends, certain areas of the country continue to attract greater numbers of immigrants than others. The annual flow of green card holding residents tends to be higher in states with larger foreign born populations nearly without exception. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the number of green cards issued per capita in 2015 in each state. New York reported the highest flow, with 658.4 green cards issued per 100,000 people. In West Virginia, on the other hand, just 42.7 residents for every 100,000 residents obtained a green card, the lowest of all states.

The 10 states with the lowest overall immigrant population are:

West Virginia - 1.6 percent
Montana - 2.1 percent
Mississippi - 2.4 percent
South Dakota - 3.2 percent
Maine - 3.4 percent
Alabama - 3.5 percent
Kentucky - 3.6 percent
Wyoming - 3.8 percent
North Dakota - 3.8 percent
Louisiana - 4 percent

And the 10 states with the highest overall immigrant population are:

California - 27.4 percent
New York - 22.9 percent
New Jersey - 22.1 percent
Florida - 20.2 percent
Nevada - 19.4 percent
Hawaii - 17.8 percent
Texas - 17 percent
Massachusetts - 16.2 percent
Maryland - 15 percent
Connecticut - 14.5 percent
