and other experts investigated the records of 41 million
foreign-bom residents - including about 11.3 million illegal

20th century": their education levels, the diversity of their
jobs, and their wages are improving, and the newest
generations of immigrants are assimilating Thto American
society as fast and broadly as the previous ones.
