Abstract

Asian Indian immigration to the United States (U.S.) has had a distinguished history in the twentieth century, with the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration and Nationality Act dividing this history into two distinct phases. Although the pre-1965 phase was characterized by exclusion, post-1965 was about progressive inclusion of the immigrants. With the economic restructuring causing a shift from manufacturing to services and quaternary sector in the U.S. during the later 1980s and early 1990s, Asian immigration was now characterized by high human capital. The authors establish that Asian immigration continues to increase in spite of recent setbacks caused by recession in the economy and some evidence of reverse migration. Drawing upon case studies from the metroplexes of Dallas–Ft. Worth, Metropolitan Phoenix, and Austin, Texas, the authors conclude that Asian Indian immigration represents a significant and continuing current wave of immigration to the United States.
