Children in Immigrant Families--The U.S. and 50 States: National Origins, Language, and Early Education. Research Brief Series. Publication #2007-11.

Abstract

The huge influx of immigrants coming to the United States from every corner of the globe has helped propel the issue of immigration high up on the national agenda. Most of the attention has focused on the legal side of the issue, especially with Congress set to tackle comprehensive immigration reform this year. In contrast, relatively little attention has focused on the side of the nation’s immigration story that represents the future: children.
