immigrant family
Foreign-born clan settling
A family that has moved from one country to settle permanently in another.
The term encompasses families who immigrate together and those formed after immigration: My parents met after arriving—we're an immigrant family on both sides.
Often invoked in discussions of assimilation, economic mobility, and cultural identity: Like many immigrant families, they worked long hours to give their children opportunities.
