Homeland Security Given Data on Arab-Americans


(New York Times) Lynette Clemetson - The U.S. Census Bureau has provided specially tabulated population statistics on Arab-Americans to the Department of Homeland Security. The tabulations were produced in August 2002 and December 2003 in response to requests from what is now the Customs and Border Protection division of the Department of Homeland Security.

The categories provided were Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Palestinian, Syrian, and two general categories, "Arab/Arabic" and "Other Arab."
