Statistics Norway (SSB) is changing their word usage in order to better reflect the multiculturalism of Norwegian society. With the new terms, 'immigrants' will only be people who were formerly defined as "first generation immigrants".
The term "immigrant population" will no longer be used in the statistics and will be replaced by "immigrants and Norwegian born with immigrant parents".
"Immigrant population" is used a lot as a catch-all category for immigrants and their Norwegian born children. This is apparently a problematic category, first and foremost because Norwegian born children of immigrants aren't so much like their parents that it's suitable for a combined statistical grouping, according to NRK.no.

Are you ging to delete this spam? I love how it's ad for learning the Koran with more English grammatical errors than I care to list, like it's more important to learn a hideous, completely useless language in order to indoctrinate oneself in evil and backasswardness than a real, useful language with which one can actually choose to communicate with literate people and maybe find decent employment instead of parasitizing Big Brother and therefore actually achieve adult/human rather than submonkey/infant status. Priorities, Islamic-style.
Jdamn13,
Yes, I usually delete spam. But if you intend to critique other people's English, you might want to check yours first.
