OP mentioned 26.8% for Sweden. That is not low compared to Singapore.

[dagw]

That's 26.8% that either weren't born in the country _or have at least one foreign-born parent_. That's a pretty significant difference.

I was born in Sweden and can trace my direct Swedish ancestry back at least 400 years and I still fall into that 26.8%.

Fwiw, some foreign-born numbers: 15% of the Swedish population is foreign-born. Of those, about 1/3 were born in another EU country, who are immigrants but not really what the current controversy is about (the largest single foreign-born group in Sweden are from Finland, constituting about 1.5% of the population). The remaining 10%, born outside the EU, are what "immigration politics" is mainly talking about. (The comparable figure for Denmark is a bit lower; around 5-6% of the population are born outside the EU.)
