"More non-Hispanic whites, blacks, Asians and Hispanics moved to the South between 1995 and 2000 than left that region for other parts of the country, according to a Census 2000 report released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. Meanwhile, the other three regions registered a net domestic migration loss for some or all of these groups.
The Northeast, on the other hand, experienced a net loss in domestic migration for each of the four groups, though the specific flows varied by portions of the region. The New England states, which include states such as Connecticut and Massachusetts, had a net migration gain of Asians and Hispanics, but net losses of non-Hispanic whites and blacks. However, the population in the Northeast grew from 1995 to 2000 because arrivals from abroad - 488,000 non-Hispanic whites, 474,000 Hispanics, 336,000 Asians and 200,000 blacks - offset the region's domestic net migration loss."

In fact, the struggle for immigrant rights and civil rights are as intertwined today as they have been at any time in the history of the United States...Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, there have been efforts by Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to extend the reach of state and local police to play a more active role in enforcing U.S. immigration laws—a role that some states and localities have embraced, but others have rejected. These efforts contradict a history of enforcement of U.S. immigration laws that has been the exclusive province of federal law enforcement, with assistance by state and local law enforcement on criminal matters.
