That's at least the legal immigrants. That qualifier is included in the good.is article, but perhaps should have appeared on the graphic too.

The gray "unknown" bar is fascinating. Are those known unknowns, unknown knowns or unknown unknowns?

Why hasn't the US taken in any of the millions of Iraqi refugees ? It is a crime.

I can't think of any way in which this presentation of the information is superior to a plain old bar chart, perhaps in order of number of immigrants to facilitate comparisons.
