New Immigrants Avoiding High-Immigration Areas


"New immigrants who once flocked to the large "gateway" cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago are now heading for smaller metropolitan areas like Detroit and Minneapolis, Colorado Springs, Colo., Sarasota, Fla., and El Paso, Tex.," says the Christian Science Monitor in a report on a new real estate study. "Newly arriving immigrants are likely to settle where there are job opportunities and affordable places to live," says Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "It also dispels one of the key assertions of the immigration enthusiasts [who] often look at the fact that immigrants tend to congregate in areas of the country where the economy is most robust, and conclude that immigration is the cause of economic growth. This study suggests that they are confusing cause and effect. If a robust economy exists, the effect will be an influx of immigrants."
