The survey by the Pew Research Center found the ranking switch of two largest groups of newcomers to the United States started in 2009.

And it determined that the growing Asian population in the United States not only is large, but it is thriving.

"Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States," the study concluded.

The Pew centre said the change in immigration figures is largely due to declining immigration from Mexico – the source of more US immigrants than any other country – amid weakness in the US job market and a crackdown on illegal immigration.

"A survey of attitudes also found striking differences between Asians and the broader US society.

They expressed stronger family values than the average American, saying a successful marriage and being a good parent were key priorities.

Also 69 per cent buy in to the notion that people can get ahead if they are simply willing to work hard, a view shared by a somewhat smaller share of the American public as a whole (58 per cent)."

Asians also appear to be less inclined to view discrimination against their group as a major problem, compared to the nation's two largest minority groups, Hispanics and blacks.
