Oregon is trailing other states in helping integrate its growing immigrant population, a new University of Oregon study shows.
Between 1990 and 2000, the Latino population doubled in 21 of Oregon’s 36 counties. The total foreign-born population now makes up more than 10 percent of the state’s population. By 2020, Latinos are expected to compose about 30 percent of the state’s student population.
