Given that the general population is becoming less family-centered, these populations are bringing more family life to these cities. More detailed census data, including numbers of recent immigrants and more detailed ethnic and national-origin information, won't come out for months. The city is home to thousands of Bengalis from Bangladesh, a Muslim nation on India's eastern border. The reason we came here is to get established in a First-World country. There are more opportunities here.
Language is one barrier.
Just 32 percent of students are primarily English speakers, and students speak 21 other languages, from Arabic to Macedonian to Polish. That may explain, in part, why some young immigrants are choosing to remain in the city. So I have lots of friends.
