"Asians Top of the Immigration Class" Fastest-Growing Population Group
With all the immigration talk lately, thought I'd share a positive story I read today regarding immigration in the U.S. Personally, I think Asians have more positive skills and cultural influences to bring the our nation then Hispanics.
Full story hereAsians are the fastest-growing, most educated and highest-earning population in the U.S., according to a new report that paints the majority-immigrant group as a boon to an economy that has come to rely increasingly on skilled workers.
The number of Asians in the U.S. quadrupled between 1980 and 2010 to about 18 million, or 6% of the total population, according to "The Rise of Asian Americans," a study released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. The bulk of Asians in the U.S. trace their roots to six countries: China, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and Vietnam.
As a group, Asians place more value than Americans overall on marriage, parenting, hard work and careers, according to the report. Irrespective of their country of origin, Asians overall believe that American parents are too soft on their children.

I don't mean it in a negative way since Hispanics do contribute in good ways. But overall, Asians by far have better education achievements, commit less crime, and are far more polite..I mean I've been to Mexico, Japan and Singapore and Asians are by far more polite. In Mexico there were gang signs on the walls of biuldings, in Singapore there were posters saying "Say Thank You" and "Make Someones Day".
Well...it might be a fact that asians tend to be more educated than hispanics, considering the cultural backgrounds and values...But than again I find a lot of asians to be quite inward and isolated, most tend to stay within their own community while other immigrants actually do adapt to their new society. I'm a first gen Chinese immigrant, but most of my friends aren't asian, that's cause I can't stand their k-pop culture...
This is because as asians are far away, you get the pick of them.
The only asians that can come to the US are those that can afford air travel.
Mexico is just south of you.
If your southern neighbour were the Phillipines or Thailand you'd get poor and uneducated asians as well.

Yes, but even with than I feel that hispanics seem to blend into American culture better than Asian. I don't know how is it across the boarder but Canada really doesn't have as much hispanics as the US but at least over here, I find that most other immigrant races, i.e. European, African and Middle-Eastern tend to mingle better than Asians...
I thought people from the Middle-East counted as Asians.
Only since the british press discovered "asian" as a euphemism for Pakistani.
In the US, they officially count as white; same goes for Central Asian (the "stans", excluding Pakistan). Folks from the Subcontinent are Asian though.
As JCR mentions, much of it has to do with the distance and cost of traveling to the US as opposed to driving across the border.
There is also the fact that Asian culture does put an emphasis on bringing "honor" to the family, which causes parents to pressure their kinds more to achieve. Or course, this can definitely backfire.
This is done to create an exploitable working class.
Yes, if you keep a group of people from learning a common language they will not be able to communicate and become educated. IMHO...
