Introduction
Austria has a history of being fairly strict on immigration. The Central European country insists that -- unlike the United States -- it is not a traditional country of immigration.
That being said, Austria still has a large foreign population. The 2001 census in Austria showed more than 9.1 percent of the population were foreign residents, mostly from the former Yugoslavia states and Turkey.
Add naturalized foreigners to the mix, and Austria in 2001 had a higher percentage of foreign-born resident population than the United States, at 12.1 percent.
