- Big Picture
- American immigration history is marked by strong patterns. Native-born citizens resist the newest arrivals. These new arrivals assimilate and then join in the nativist resistance to the next group of immigrants.
- Will this pattern hold for the immigrants of the most recent phase (post 1965)?
- Will current Latin American and Asian immigrants assimilate as earlier Irish, Italian, and Slavic immigrants did?
- Are there differences between past immigrant groups and current?
