“Using four years of data from the Current Population Survey, this study examines the effect of country of origin on two types of political incorporation among immigrants - citizenship and voting - in the contemporary United States. Results show that country of origin is a statistically significant predictor of citizenship acquisition for nine often immigrant groups and for voter turnout for five of ten groups, net of income, education, length of residence in the United States, and other demographic characteristics. The findings also suggest that country of origin matters as much for how it interacts with other key characteristics, such as education and income, as for the independent influence it exerts on these two political processes.”
