Explain why Asian immigrant groups have recently been more accepted in the United States than some other groups.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. The majority of Asians who immigrated to the United States over the past few decades brought with them high levels of education and entered the United States legally to find greater economic opportunities than exist in their nations of origin. Obtaining a college degree tends to lead to greater income, and foreign-born Asian workers make almost double what Hispanic foreign-born workers earn per week.
