Maryland's immigrant population echoes the United States'. China, India, the Philippines and Mexico are among the top five immigrant groups in both the U.S. and Maryland. But Maryland has a larger percentage of people from El Salvador -- 11.8 percent of the state's immigrant population -- and a much smaller proportion of Mexicans than the U.S. as a whole.
