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 "less famously immigrant-friendly" instead of "less immigrant-friendly." I simply haven't heard as much about the immigration there even though I'm American, probably 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.
I understood you were joking. And, as with any forum of smart, nerdy people, there is an inevitable percentage who will point out how some part of your joke does not fit with observable facts.
I've spent a fair bit of time in Boise, as I have family there. The truth is more complicated than a word. The "city" is friendly in terms of favorable policies; the people who live there aren't uniformly friendly to immigrants. In the late 90s, my cousin was upset that his high school banned (iirc) jackboots and cuffed jeans, until he learned that the style he'd unwittingly adopted was equivalent to skinhead gang colors; the ban was a result of actual skinheads popularizing the style. Then, last June, the literal nazis marching downtown. Granted, it's much worse in Coeur D'Alene.
I'm a non-white non-immigrant in the US. They're not mutually exclusive. That's why I edited my sibling comment to include a source listing that Boise is also very low on the percentage of immigrants in the population, both in the city and metro area (MSA).
