New Immigrants Fuel Washington Metropolitan Growth
The heterogeneous nature of metropolitan Washington's immigrant population poses varied challenges to jurisdictions throughout the region.
"Immigration has indelibly altered the Washington region. Its heterogeneous naturein terms of national origin, settlement patterns, language ability, and economic statusposes unique challenges, particularly in areas of immigrant concentration. How these challenges are met, especially in light of a languishing economy and the immigration impacts of September 11, will influence whether the region remains a home and employment center for immigrants."
