Half a century ago, Virginia’s Fairfax County was 90% white and 3.5% immigrant; today it’s 50% white and 30% foreign-born.
In 1965 the percentage of immigrants in the United States was only 4.4%.

This demographic shift has had profound effects, and in “A Nation of Nations,” National Public Radio correspondent Tom Gjelten brings these changes to life by focusing on Fairfax County, Va.
