ResearchPublished 1992
This paper briefly (1) reviews three radical changes since the 1960s involving increases in immigration in general, shifts in the immigrants' ethnic composition, and increases in undocumented immigration in particular; (2) assesses the effectiveness of the amnesty programs and employer sanctions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986; and (3) discusses the prospects for immigration in the 1990s and the challenges that continuing and increased migration raise for the United States.
