War III
Today, over 35 million (12% of population) of the
people who live in the United States were born in other countries. The
percentage has tripled since the mid 1970s when it had reached an all time low
of 4%. The wave of European immigration that peaked in the late 1930s had
lasted nearly 199 years. The US, for a variety of reasons, took a break that
lasted until the first Vietnamese began showing up en masse at the end of that
war. (The numbers are probably understated because of
the documentation problems at the lower end of the social spectrum. We assume
that this is a picture of changes in the vast middle class rather than a
comprehensive view.)
Baby boomers grew up in a world (that therefore
shaped their assumptions) in which an immigrant was a rarity in either the peer
group or the commercial world. Generation Xers had a similar experience. The
members of generation Y, however, have always lived in a world in which
immigrants were a working fact of life.
We've taken the time to show you this data for a
number of reasons. We'll try to wrap this all up in tomorrow's
piece.
