How many countries have an immigration rate so high that it exceeds the birth rate of the naturalized citizens of said countries, that is more people coming into the countries than being born in the countries?

If you check the status of some countries, they had some better years for immigration. Israel, for example, received about 800,000 immigrants between May 1991 and May 1992, as a wave of former Soviet Jews were finally free to move there. Not all years were like that, of course. The country hasn't received such a high amount of immigrants since, nor had it ever before. There were few other years (mostly in the early 1950s) when Israel had more immigrants than people being born within its borders. May 23 12, 5:54 AM
