A legal permanent resident or “green card” recipient is defined by immigration law as a person who has been granted lawful permanent residence in the United States.

Permanent resident status confers certain rights and responsibilities. Legal Permanent Residents may live and work permanently anywhere in the United States, own property, and attend public schools, colleges, and universities.

Legal Permanent residents may also join certain branches of the Armed Forces and apply to become U.S. citizens if they meet certain eligibility requirements. (p. 1/6)

A NEW DEMOGRAPHIC REALITY

A series of projections from the U.S. Census Bureau estimates: In the year 2045 the nation will

become “majority‐minority” (all people except those that are non‐Hispanic, single‐race white)

The population under 18 years of age will reach this status by 2018 or 2019

The working age population is projected to become majority‐minority between 2036 and 2042
