Migration Policy Institute
http://www.migrationpolicy.org/
A private, nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank in Washington, DC. MPI runs the “Migration Information Source” (http://www.migrationinformation.org/) which offers some excellent, short policy overview papers (e.g., on current immigration bills in Congress), overviews of immigration policies around the world, and they have an international "data center" that carries immigration, refugee and citizenship stats from a variety of countries in an easy-to-use format. Their U.S. data center has profiles of large (and some small) immigrant groups in the U.S., including maps of settlement. Most of the data are national and international (comparative), but it is site worth exploring since it is user-friendly and has excellent data.

Although the center’s primary focus is on the Latino population, its research and surveys often also include some information on other groups.

http://www.ppic.org/main/home.asp
A private, nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank in San Francisco that does research on population, economy, and governance and public finance in California.

Southern Poverty Law Center

The Urban Institute, Immigration Studies Program
http://www.urban.org/toolkit/issues/immigration.cfm
The Immigration Studies Program addresses many of the critical issues that surround the integration of newcomers. For instance, immigrants are increasingly dispersed across the United States, settling in smaller cities, towns and rural areas. Immigrant populations are growing especially rapidly in Southeastern, Midwestern, and interior Western states, many of which have little experience in incorporating newcomers. How these states and communities deal with the challenges involved in integrating these new populations is one central area of our research.
