Asians surpass Hispanics as largest new immigrant group

Net migration with Mexico is less than zero ever since the housing bubble went kaput.

I'm sort of surprised that people in the general public don't find it all that important to have a successful marriage or to be a good parent(!).

Remember that marriage is on the decline in the US.  With 50% of couples getting divorced I'm not that surprised that the gen pub doesn't have a very high opinion of the institution.

On another note, it would be interesting to see where the newcomers are settling.  I know that Hawaii, Alaska, and the West Coast have fairly high Asian populations just based on proximity.  I'm wondering if there are any "interior" or eastern enclaves also or if it is a geographically neutral thing.  I'm sure it differs somewhat by country of origin.  I believe their is a significant Vietnamese population in New Orleans; New York is always a general immigrant hot spot; I've also gotten the impression that DC and Atlanta have higher than average Asian populations.  Are their any other major destination cities?

Asian is an even less meaningful label than Hispanic. What exactly do Persians and Japanese immigrants have in common?

Middle Easterners come under White.
