It is completely appropriate and expected for Argentina to be featured on this list, as evidenced by its history. After all, not only was the country founded by immigrants, it has a population where a large percentage is made up of immigrants. This occurred in the late 19th and the start of the 20th century, where mostly Europeans from Italy, Spain, and the Slavic countries moved to Argentina and in fact, changed the entire landscape of the country. However, recently, Argentina’s openness to immigrants has been threatened by its leaders, though people who remember Argentina’s history are opposing this stance.
