With declining native-born population growth in recent years, even a diminished level of net migration has been enough to raise the foreign-born fraction (see figure 2a). Now well beyond the era of Ellis Island, where name changes were commonplace, changes now are on the decline, according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), but have a similar significance for incoming immigrants. Though the foreign-born fraction has risen to its late-19th-century levels, the net migration rate is just half the level that prevailed around 1900 (Blau and Mackie 2017).

This drop occurred in large part because of policy changes that limited immigration into the United States. By contrast, high-skilled native-born workers tended to enter occupations that require more communications and interpersonal skills (Jaimovich and Siu 2017).
