Abstract
This article proposes a model describing the spontaneous migration pattern of the Vietnamese refugees compared to the more traditional immigration pattern of other Asians in the United States. This study also discusses the factors contributing to the socioeconomic status of the Vietnamese refugees and attempts to forecast the prospects for the Vietnamese in America.Keywords
