## Resource

One in three people living in Australia right now were born overseas. It's one of the highest proportions in the world. And right now, every political party has a very different idea about whether that number should go up, down, or stay the same.  Today we're breaking down the current migration figures, why the debate over immigration is dominating headlines, and what the different sides of politics have to say about it.
