The report, called “Assimilation Tomorrow,” was co-authored by the Center for American Progress and demographers from USC (University of Southern California).
Focusing on the last great wave of immigration in the 1990s, authors Dowell Myers and John Pitkin found that those immigrants are integrating well into American society and across all generations.
Analyzing demographic trends – including education, home ownership, and English proficiency – the researchers project that by 2030, the current immigrant population will speak better English, have obtained more college degrees, and have higher income levels than previous immigrants.
Myers and Pitkin concluded they are doing better than immigrants who end up in some European countries.
