This book examines the changes wrought by these new suburban settlement patterns and provides comparative analysis of immigration trends and local policy responses in these gateways.

Written by an interdisciplinary group of experts, the book provides in-depth, comparative analysis of immigration trends and local policy responses in America's newest gateways.
The case examples explore the challenges of newcomer integration in those gateways, as well as immigration's impact on suburban infrastructure such as housing, transportation, schools, health care, economic development, and public safety.
The changes wrought by these new suburban settlement patterns have remained largely unexamined until now.
The new trends dissected in this important book present a new context for the social, economic, and political incorporation of the newest Americans.
