Immigration is a topic of enormous significance for the United States. Immigrants make up about one-fifth of the total U.S. national population, and if they formed a country, it would rank in the top ten percent in the world in population size -- roughly the size of France or Italy. This volume highlights information on patterns of immigration to the U.S. in the 1990s, the causes and consequences of immigration, and the effects of current immigration policy. Other topics discussed include the settlement of immigration families in suburban areas, success and difficulties of immigrant children in schools, and patterns of English or native language use by immigrant families.
