Reviewing several books on the state of the American body politic, Andrew Hacker says that only 40 per cent of Canadians who emigrate to the U.S. seek to take out American citizenship. Just 33 per cent of Mexicans who end up living and working in American ask for the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship.
Koreans and Filipinos who emigrate to the U.S. are keen to become citizens, with 71 per cent and 76 per cent respectively, becoming citizens of the republic.
I'm not sure what that means but I'll bet if I had some more data I could start figuring it out.
How many Americans who emigrate to Canada become citizens here? How many Americans overall take out citizenship in the country they land in?
How many Canadians take out citizenship in another country if they are there long enough? Is it greater or less than the rate of citizenship takeup for Canadians in the U.S.?
