Vietnamese Immigrants in the United States
Via Lê Bá Dzũng
Large-scale immigration from Vietnam to the United States began at the
end of the Vietnam War, when the fall of Saigon in 1975 led to the
U.S.-sponsored evacuation of an estimated 125,000 Vietnamese refugees.
As the humanitarian crisis and displacement of people in the Indochina
region (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos) intensified, more refugees and
their families were admitted to the United States. The Vietnamese
immigrant population has grown significantly since then, roughly
doubling every decade between 1980 and 2000, and then increasing 26
percent in the 2000s. In 2017, more than 1.3 million Vietnamese resided
in the United States, accounting for 3 percent of the nation’s 44.5
million immigrants and representing the sixth-largest foreign-born group
in the country.
