released a report, titled, “The Rise ofAsian Americans” (Pew Research Center, 2012) based on the 2010 U.S. census (U.S.Census Bureau, 2012). The title referred, in part, to the changing demographic andsocioeconomic trends. In 1960, Asian Americans comprised less than one percent ofthe U.S. population, but account for 5.6% today—becoming the fastest growing groupin the country. Immigration is driving much of this demographic change (Alba & Nee,2003; Lee & Bean, 2010). China and India have now surpassed Mexico as the leadingsources of new immigrants to the United States. Demographers project that, by 2065,immigrants from Asia will comprise 38% of all immigrants to the country. As a result,Asian Americans will nearly triple in size, and
