17 Immigrants from the former Soviet Union in Washington State until 1990s CHARACTERISTICS AND RESOURCES OF IMMIGRANTS AND RECEPTION OF THE PLACE OF DESTINATION
18 Characteristics and resources of immigrants (HARDWICK, S. W. 1993) Russians have not been typical of other Euroamerican immigrant groups in North America Russian residential enclaves have been relatively slow to disperse through time slow assimilation They live and they tend to live in isolated enclaves because of their religion(orthodox, Old Believers, Doukhobors, Molokans, Baptists, Pentacostals) because of their experience at home (persecution, discrimination, etc.)
19 Reception of the host country: Russians have not been typical of other Euroamerican immigrant groups in North America Russian residential enclaves have been relatively slow to disperse through time slow assimilation They had to bear the burden of negative perception because of Communism because of the perception that Russia is not truly European level of discrimination (HARDWICK, S. W. 1993)

43 Reception of the place of destination: opinion about the immigration policy
44 Opinion about the immigration policy Statements: Do you agree that the USA immigration policy should be more open for immigration of people who have a high educational standard and are looking for a job in the USA? the USA immigration policy should be more open for immigration of people who have a high educational standard and have already found a job in the USA? the USA immigration policy should be more open for immigration of people who have a low educational standard and are looking for a job in the USA? the USA immigration policy should be more open for immigration of people who have a low educational standard and have already found a job in the USA? the USA immigration policy should be more open for immigration of people who have relatives living in the USA? the USA immigration policy should treat immigrants coming from different parts of the world differently? Local Americans (%) Immigrants from the former SU (%) Agree Disagree Agree Disagree foreign people living in the US should learn/speak English very well? an American citizen should have priority over a foreign citizen when applying for a job in the USA?
45 Summary The PUMS and our data suggest that the structures of the arrivals from the former SU s countries have changed since 1990s Immigration from these countries was selective (young and educated sectors of the population) However, these immigrants experience difficulties at the beginning, and they have to work very hard. They might not be able to work in the same profession, but they are able to provide significant opportunities for their children without any considerable disadvantage in comparison with the host society s families. They receive very little or no discrimination or exclusion Most of the local American residents have international friends, but their closest friends are American, and most of the immigrants closest friends are immigrants from their home countries Local American residents rather would support immigrants with high educational standard than immigrants who have less education or/and have relatives in the US Many local American residents think that an American citizen should have priority over a foreign citizen when applying for a job in the USA When the elements in the two factors of the integration model work this way, the adaptation occurs as a success in the long term
