All-time high?

Isn't it a bit far-fetched to speak of an all-time high in naturalization? The linked document only reaches back as far as 2006. The Dossier of Vanguardia (Número 22, Enero/Marzo 2007, Inmigrantes - El continente móvil, p. 30) gives even slightly higher numbers:

- 2002: 1.063.732
- 2003: 705.827
- 2004: 946.142

The top two years so far have been 2008 (1,046,539) then 1996 (1,040,991). Only 9 other years exceeded 500,000 and they were all later than 1996. See http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/yearbook/2008/table20.xls. TanjBennett (talk) 02:50, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration: Not Migration

Those that immigrated to the dozens of English colonies of North America, prior to the late eighteenth century, should not be termed "U. S. immigrants". The migration and subsequent founding of States by non-foreign peoples doth not make them immigrants, nor does such grant indigenous North Americans native status--being that they are really immigrants themselves. To immigrate is to come in to a body, not to travel to a different plot of land; the latter is to migrate. I hope that my contention with your articles has been understood and will be considered as with any other legitimate and reasoned point on wikipaedia. 157.252.146.251 (talk) 11:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Seeker718, 29 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}}

I noticed one sentence (at least I think it's a new sentence) begins "50 percent of immigrants say the government has become tougher...." Please change "50 percent" to "Fifty percent" in order to make it clear that a new sentence has begun. If this is not meant to be a new sentence, then please insert a comma before it, to separate it from the previous clause.

Thank you.

Edit request from SalinasJ, 7 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} The first citation doesn't contain or imply anywhere in it that the United states accepts more immigrants as permanent residents. This either should be cited properly or deleted from the page. SalinasJ (talk) 03:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: I don't understand how you missed seeing it. It is at the bottom of the first page of that source: "Today, the United States accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than the rest of the world combined." Celestra (talk) 13:46, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article name change?

Shouldn't the article name be "Immigrants to the United States"? The topic goes well beyond the process of actual immigration. I realize the media uses the name to mean whatever the media is talking about at the time, but shouldn't an encyclopedia be a bit more exacting? Student7 (talk) 02:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
