I agree, it certainly feels that way!
I found these and although admittedly they're 2005 figures it's certainly not the what I expected.

Top 10 Countries with the largest number of international migrants

Top 10 Countries with the highest share of migrants in the total population

I was surprised. I never expected Germany or France to have a higher intake over UK

However it must be stipulated that these figures reflect 'legal' immigration only. Not the illegal asylum seeker figures

 

[epk]

well... france is really big in the immigration numbers... legals and illegals...

im more surprised spain is so low... most latin americans wanna go there... language and all

 

[Dark Atheist]

well... france is really big in the immigration numbers... legals and illegals...

[Dark Atheist]

[Dark Atheist]
