It's the changing face of immigration: Increasingly, people from places such as Mexico, India, El Salvador, Vietnam and Russia are our new neighbors – as the Dallas-Fort Worth region becomes a gateway to America for new arrivals. The Dallas Morning News takes an extensive look at this fascinating phenomenon and its effects on culture, schools, lifestyle and business. During the coming months, we will examine the diverse newcomers in Dallas and its suburbs in an occasional series and bring you their stories in sections throughout the newspaper.
