This study provides a detailed demographic portrait from the 2000 Census on the rapid growth of immigrant children, who often belong to one of the "protected classes" of the No Child Left Behind Act because they are LEP, low income, and/or a member of a racial or ethnic minority group. It presents information on children of immigrants, LEP children, and children of immigrants in low-income families; how family income and parental education interact with linguistic proficiency and isolation; and the characteristics of children of Latino, Asian, and black immigrants, with comparisons among children with parents from different countries.
