When Immigrants Are Not Migrants: Counting Arrivals of the Foreign Born Using the U.S. Census.
Ellis, Mark; Wright, Richard
International Migration Review, v32 n1 p127-44 Spr 1998
Compares characteristics of recent immigrant arrivals in the United States using two measures from the U.S. Census, the "came-to-stay" question and the migrant question. Results suggest that immigration researchers should consider the idea of arrival carefully to distinguish between newcomers and the resident foreign born. (SLD)
