Latin American immigrants lag far behind other newcomers in assimilating in the United States, a study examining economic, cultural and civic factors indicated.
Duke University’s Jack Vigdor, who wrote the study for the libertarian Manhattan Institute, used a variety of census data to develop an assimilation index with 100 indicating full integration.
Vigdor said he found an “unprecedented” average rate of assimilation during the past quarter century due to the economic boom of the 1990s.”*
