New Immigrant Settlements in Rural America: Problems, Prospects, and Policies by the Carsey Institute discusses how regions of rural America are being reshaped by growing numbers of immigrants who are choosing small town life over the bright lights of the big city. This study found that immigrant settlers may have a big impact on small, rural communities – sometimes straining resources, but more often than not, reinvigorating dying communities. Much of the report discusses children, including education.
