Acknowledging the extent of Asian migration
Article Abstract:
The immigration of Asian nationals to continental US started in the middle of the 19th century with the Gold Rush. They came in full force after 1965 when immigration became more lenient. It is predicted that Asians will make up 12% of the population by the year 2025. There is a growing concern for Asian immigrants particularly with their inability to integrate themselves to the culture of their adopted land.
