title: U.S. immigration and ethnicity in the 21st century.
abstract: The authors attempt to predict future U.S. immigration trends in light of changing policies.  "Changes in policy and the presence of illegal entrants complicates measuring and projecting immigration flows. Acknowledging the risks, this article sketches the possible long-term impact of the immigration trends we observe today, if they were to continue for the next 50 years.  This study uses a modified cohort-component approach for population projections by race/ethnicity and immigrant generation."
