What kind of amount do you find astounding? And how do you tell immigrants apart from foreign students and tourists?

About 7% of the inhabitants of Helsinki are foreign born. Of the whole population of Finland about 3% are foreign born. The biggest foreigner groups are Russians, Estonians and Swedes.

There are about 5500 Somalians in the whole Finland (about 0.1% of the population). Even if they all lived in Helsinki, it would be only about 1% of the Helsinki residents.

I will do what a little voice from internet heaven said and just move on.

Numbers numb-nuts, numbers, Times can say what ever they wanted to, but laws are not passed on what a magazines says, boy.
Laws are passed by Representatives and Senators casting votes and the president signing them...

Back to 7th Grade Civics glass...Or did you drop out before that?

Most likely you didn't. You just felt that way. Most of them are unemployed and have time to hang around downtown Helsinki in places like the railroad station. If you happen to be in a place where they gather it may seem that they are more than they really are. In some other parts of Helsinki you wouldn't have seen any of them. You also probably saw the same somalis many times.
