Mexicantown [[questions for a presentation)

[tkelly1986]

All

I am giving a presentation on Mexicantown for a labor economics course and wanted to see if anyone could steer me towards any articles, books ect...that could give some background of the area, population figures, or stats on business starts and home prices since its inception.

Essentially, I am looking at the economic assumption that immigrants flock to economically vibrant areas, and discussing how there are exceptions to the rule [[using Mexicantown and Dearborn as examples). I will then also discussion the question whether immigration is a partial solution to Detroit's population drain.
