Today’s immigrants are likely to put down roots, buy houses, become fluent English speakers, and benefit the economy, according to a report released last week.
Co-authors Dowell Myers and John Pitkin “dug through Census data from decades for over a year,” said Myers at a telephone press conference. The researchers found that the current cohort of immigrants, those who arrived in the 1990s, are on track to succeed as well as previous waves of immigrants, despite the tough economy and political climate.
