BIRD'S EYE • By Karl Zinsmeister
Not all immigrants are alike

DOES AMERICA HAVE AN ASSIMILATION PROBLEM?
Michael Barone says no, our immigrants have always melted before.
John Fonte says yes, the country and the immigrants are wholly different today.

THE SPECIAL CASE OF MEXICAN IMMIGRATION
Samuel Huntington and Georgie Anne Geyer
With sidebars by Peter Skerry, Linda Chavez, and Barbara Curtis.
Today's immigration from Mexico is bigger than anything in our history, different from other waves from other countries, and poses challenges that America has never weathered before. And Mexicoís leaders arenít helping matters.

OUR NEW IMMIGRATION PREDICAMENT
Steven Camarota
The immigrants weíve accepted over the last couple decades have been relatively less educated, less skilled, and less entrepreneurial than in the past. As a result, we are importing social and economic problems.

THE CASE FOR CHOOSING MORE SKILLED IMMIGRANTS
George Borjas
If the U.S. more carefully selected immigrants on the basis of the skills they bring, it could be a boon to America.

SECOND-GENERATION QUESTION MARK
Tamar Jacoby
The real test is how the children of todayís immigrants will fit into America. The evidence so far is both discouraging and encouraging.
