Profiles the "boat people," the second wave of refugees, and compares data with available research on the first wave of Vietnamese immigrants. Concludes that differences in background and conditions of migration affect sociocultural adjustment; the first group appears more acculturated but also seem more resistant to assimilation in the host country.
