Authors from numerous disciplines assess the integration of recent immigrants in the context of their ethnic background and note the lessons that their adjustment, or lack thereof, provides for immigration policy. Topics include race and ethnic trends in U.S. immigration, incorporation of Hispanic and Asian immigrants, the comparative earnings of immigrant men, secondary immigration patterns of legalized aliens, and an overview of U.S. immigration policy.

The authors rely on several different data sources to tackle the problem of estimating whether IRCA has had an impact on illegal immigration to the United States, and employ a variety of approaches to tease out information on trends. Some present results based on data collected in Mexico, the single most important source country--important as a supplement to get a complete picture of changing patterns of illegal immigration.
