Absolutely not true and anyone with a grain of historical sense would acknowledge this.
London and Amsterdam were 60% foreign born in their Golden Ages (for Amsterdam that was around 1650), almost double from what they are now (and what New York is now!)

And by the way, I don't mean it in some sort of USA USA number 1 way (as Shiro always means it with everything, with Europe). London in 2010 is right up there. So are Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, etc. Widespread global immigration is a point common today to almost every large city in the Western world.

Oh stop pretending...I'm not the one bringing up "Europe", you did in a most trollish way. I hope for you that none of the other mods catch that. If I see you baiting someone other than myself like that I'd suspend rather than just delete in case of a repeat offender...
