If the American colonies had stayed loyal ?

How much of the 18th and 19th century immigration to places like Canada and other British Empire dominions was by people who were not from the British Empire? The US gained more and more immigrants from all of Europe, and not just British and Irish. I don't know how much that would affect immigration totals.
Quite a lot, actually- there's something like 1.5 million Italian-Canadians, a number more or less proportional to the US population of 17.8 million, and the same holds true for Jews, Russians, Poles, etc. Even the Irish, who supposedly despised everything British, still ended up there in roughly proportional numbers- 4.4 million against 36.2 million.

It's almost like immigration was driven by economic motives.
 
I can't see how that'd be relevant. Ethnicity didn't determine loyalty.

Yeah there were many ethnicities in the colonies and they all considered them selves english... after their home colony.
 
The British/American empire would almost for sure be the world's greatest power. Quite possibly so dominant as to be a de-facto world government. In short Elizabeth II would be Queen of Earth and the world capital would probably be New York City.
