| Short Description: | This report attempts to answer questions about immigrants in the United States. It examines the future outlook for the nation’s immigrants, projecting their gains from today through 2030. Policy options exist to diminish or enhance the integrative trajectories of immigrants. Nevertheless, our projections assume no change—either positive or negative— from the historical patterns of attainment or the historical policy environment. |
| Annotation: | The revival of immigration to the United States since 1970 has been accompanied by substantial social change. Immigration was initially focused in states such as California, Florida, and New York, but it spread across the country beginning in the 1990s. Many questions remain about the newcomers with such a rise in immigration and
new immigrant destinations: Will they learn English? Are they locked in poverty? What are their prospects for success in America? Most importantly, will today’s
immigrants fully integrate to become tomorrow’s Americans?
This report attempts to answer these questions. It examines the future outlook for the nation’s immigrants, projecting their gains from today through 2030. Policy options exist to diminish or enhance the integrative trajectories of immigrants. Nevertheless, our projections assume no change—either positive or negative— from the historical patterns of attainment or the historical policy environment. |
