Report says immigrant diversity declined substantially over decade
A new report says immigrant diversity has declined substantially
throughout the past decade, with most new arrivals to the U.S. coming
from Mexico and Latin America.
The Center for Immigration Studies, an immigration reform think tank,
says based on U.S. Census data, of the 11.3 million immigrants to the
U.S. during the 1990s while diversity among the foreign born declined
significantly, both nationally and at the state level, "immigrants
from some countries became more spread out in the 1990s, while the
distribution of others changed little."
The report, titled "Where Immigrants Live: An Examination of State
Residency by Country in 1990 and 2000," found:
In 1990, immigrants from Mexico, the top-sending nation, accounted for
22 percent of the foreign-born in the U.S., but by 2000, Mexican
immigrants accounted for 30 percent. "Mexico alone accounted for 43
percent of the growth in the immigrant population between 1990 and
2000," said the report.
The share of immigrants from the top-sending country increased in 39
states, with the "decline in diversity … most dramatic in Arkansas,
North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Tennessee, Utah, Nebraska and
Alabama."
In Arizona, immigrants from Mexico grew from 55 percent to 67 percent
of the foreign born, and in Texas, Mexicans increased from 59 to 65
percent of the total.
"In one sense, today's immigration is more diverse than ever because
people now arrive from every corner of the world," said Steven A.
Camarota, the center's director of research and co-author of the
report. "However, in another, and perhaps more important, sense it is
less diverse."
"Allowing in so many people from one country and region of the world
may significantly slow the assimilation process by creating the
critical mass necessary for linguistic, cultural and residential
isolation," Camarota said.
The report said Latin America accounted for 60 percent of immigrant
population growth in the U.S. during the last decade.
"It seems reasonable to assume that the changing nature of immigration
must have some implications for the way immigrants integrate," the
report says. "The most serious potential problem with a larger and
less-diverse immigrant population is that it may hinder the
assimilation of immigrants."
"The English language and American culture are the means by which
diverse groups communicate with each other and the larger society,"
the report concluded. "But if one group dominates in an area, then
this may reduce the need to Americanize.
