Immigration Remakes and Sustains New York, Report Finds

Kirk Semple, writing for the New York Times:

Within the next several years, the man, Mr. Wang, was joined in New York by numerous relatives: cousins, uncles and aunts. Some came on family-related visas, others sneaked in, and still others were given asylum. There were marriages and children, the roots of the family tree pushing deeper into American soil. His extended family in the United States now numbers in the scores, many of them living in the Chinese enclaves of New York City.

An interesting look at the population patterns of one of my favorite cities.
