|
| Not to be confused with the far less populous and less famously
| immigrant-friendly Boise.
|
| On a more serious note, I'm curious what connection you see
| between immigration and tax evasion. Is Buenos Aires known for
| certain kinds of immigration?

| For people besides Latinos.
|
| South American countries seem to have had so many false
| starts. The moment they have a few decades good run, and it
| seem the country is finally starting to take off they either
| have a revolution, putsch, junta, or a communist government.

| It has a huge immigrant population. Lots of Latinos, but also
| folks from all over Asia and Europe to work at Micron. It
| also has an ever-growing number of Californian expats.

| Yes, I wasn't presuming otherwise, which is why I specified

| because Buenos Aires is a much larger city.
|
| EDIT: Also, in case my "on a more serious note" didn't make
| it explicitly clear, that entire sentence about Boise was a
| joke.
|
| EDIT 2: I might as well add that I looked this up [1], and
| Boise ranks 175th in immigration as a percentage of the
| metropolitan population or 101st as a percentage of cities,
| just among metropolitan areas (MSAs) or cities in the US.
| That's not exactly a "huge immigrant population" by my
| account.
