Excerpt
Excerpt: In March 2000, the foreign-born population of the United States reached 28.4 million, based on data from the 2000 Current Population Survey (CPS).1 2 Eleven percent of this group, or 3.1 million, were aged 65 and over. Although the total foreign-born population expanded from 1960 to 2000 following four decades of low immigration, the older foreign born3 essentially remained stable (Figure 1), so the proportion of older people among the foreign born declined sharply, from 32.6 percent in 1960 to 11.0 percent in 2000.
