The United States prides itself on being a nation of immigrants,
and the country has a long history of successfully absorbing people
from across the globe. The integration of immigrants and their
children contributes to our economic vitality and our vibrant and
ever changing culture. We have offered opportunities to immigrants
and their children to better themselves and to be fully
incorporated into our society and in exchange immigrants have
become Americans - embracing an American identity and citizenship,
protecting our country through service in our military, fostering
technological innovation, harvesting its crops, and enriching
everything from the nation's cuisine to its universities, music,
and art. Today, the 41 million immigrants in the United States
represent 13.1 percent of the U.S. population. The U.S.-born
children of immigrants, the second generation, represent another
37.1 million people, or 12 percent of the population. Thus,
together the first and second generations account for one out of
four members of the U.S. population. Whether they are successfully
integrating is therefore a pressing and important question. Are new
immigrants and their children being well integrated into American
society, within and across generations? Do current policies and
practices facilitate their integration? How is American society
being transformed by the millions of immigrants who have arrived in
recent decades? To answer these questions, this new report from the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
summarizes what we know about how immigrants and their descendants
are integrating into American society in a range of areas such as
education, occupations, health, and language. Table of Contents
