Is that possible? If this is true, then by 2010, Vietnamese Americans population will be around 3 Million, which will double compared to the Vietnamese Americans population in 2000.

"As a result of recent normalization of relations between the United States and Vietnam, as well as continued high rates of poverty in Vietnam, it is expected that Vietnamese immigration to the United States will continue at a high rate, mainly through family reunification. According to the 2000 census, there are currently 1,223,736 Vietnamese Americans. They are the fifth largest Asian immigrant group behind Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian and Korean, however recent studies have shown that by the year 2010, Vietnamese Americans will surpass all other Asian groups, with the exception of Chinese Americans, to become the second largest Asian-American population in the United States."

"The 2000 U.S. census recorded 12.3 million people who reported themselves as having either full or partial Asian heritage, 4.3% of the U.S. population. The largest ethnic subgroups were Chinese (2.7 million), Filipinos (2.4M), Asian Indians (1.9M), Vietnamese (1.2M), Koreans (1.2M), and Japanese (1.1M)."

didn't you post this before? with the bogus web source? this is like the third time i've seen the topic here.

Yes, I posted this before and I post it again to have more clarification. Do you have any problems with this?

yeah, wouldn't it be more prudent if you just go back and post a better link as a reply?...oh wellz why do i care...

Thank you for telling me. Let's get back to the topic. Do you think it is possible for Vietnamese American to be the second largest Asian group, after Chinese Americans, by 2010? What do you think?

The United States wants to sponsor more Vietnamese Americans to come to the USA so that Vietnam and Vietnamese Americans can balance the growing power of China. This is one of the reasons.

Another reason is the majority of Vietnamese in Vietnam are very pro-American.

More Vietnamese in the U.S won't benefit Vietnam in the long term.

More remittances

HAHA, People generally migrate for a chance at building a better living for them and their families. Last time I heard the US was talking bout reducing immigration.

Is this why the the Vietnamese population is so high cause Viets are paranoid of China's size

Why?

Why would Vietnamese be paranoid about China's size?

wouldn't you be paranoid if you have a billion chinese living north of you? and look at the history between the two.

more vietnamese girls to play with.......hehe.....i mean.....um.....more vietnamese girls at da parties.......um.....i mean......dont worry

Indians have just passed the filipinos and are #2 after chinese. They also have a higher growth rate then we do so no, we can't be number 2 by 2010.

This is very interesting. Let's be patient and wait for the Census 2010.

hhhmmm...viets moving to the USA....it would be a major culture shock though...Filipinos (2nd) have a high pop. becuz they can speak english and they follow americans sports, actions, movies, stars, etc... Vietnam should start teaching english in schools then!

Okay, let's do it.

^ lol i agree

Kokol, where are you?

Are you on drug or what?

the current US economy is terrible, and many Americans are becoming increasingly conservative and highly anti-immigrant.. They don't want more foreigners to come here to compete them for jobs..

No, I am not using drug. Are you using drug?

No, the Chinese and Filipino are the 2 most populous Asian ethnics in the US.

You're all Chinese Communists as far as the "they took 'er jobs" crowd is concerned.
