根据1970年人口普查的报告，外国出生的成年白色男性的收入是通过与本地出生的人和外国出生的人按原籍国、在美国的年数和国籍进行比较来分析的。移民到美国的人可能比本地出生的人更少与高收入相关的特征。经济理论表明，对能力更强、积极性更高的人来说，出于经济动机的移徙通常更有利可图。美国化对收益影响的实证分析以人力资本收益函数为出发点。1970年，在美国的外国出生的成年白色男性中，约有三分之二是归化公民，其余三分之一是外国人。来自墨西哥的移民收入明显较低似乎是墨西哥族裔群体的影响，而不仅仅是第一代墨西哥裔美国人的特征。
The earnings of foreign-born adult white men, as reported in the 1970 Census of Population, are analyzed through comparisons with the native born and among the foreign born by country of origin, years in the United States, and citizenship. Immigrants to the United States are likely to have less of the characteristics associated with higher earnings than the native born. Economic theory suggests that migration in response to economic incentives is generally more profitable for the more able and more highly motivated. The empirical analysis of the effect of Americanization on earnings uses the human capital earnings function as the point of departure. About two-thirds of the foreign-born adult white men in the United States in 1970 were naturalized citizens, and the remaining one-third were aliens. The significantly lower earnings of immigrants from Mexico appears to be a Mexican ethnic-group effect rather than simply a characteristic of first-generation Mexican-Americans.
