- January 13, 2016
- Research by Ruben Rumbaut, sociology Distinguished Professor, is featured in The New York Times Jan. 13, 2016
From the NYT:
Mr. Ewing collaborated with Rubén G. Rumbaut, a sociology professor at the University
of California, Irvine, and Daniel E. Martinez, an assistant sociology professor at
George Washington University, on a study released this past July that used census
data, F.B.I. data and other statistical data to rebut stereotypes about immigrants.
… “An immigrant does not come here to commit crimes and get on welfare,” Mr. Rumbaut
said. “They come here to work harder than native-born people do.”
