Very odd kerfuffle over exactly what is a first generation American. The issue involves the disposition of immigrant parents and children.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
I was looking at #IAmAnImmigrant, and one person wrote his mother was an immigrant but he was a first generation American.I think he's wrong— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
But this person is not the only one to regard the first generation born in the US as first-generation Americans. But this is paradoxical.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
Assuming parents established residency with or before their children, I would consider the former first-generation.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
If the parents migrated after their child established residency, I would consider all first-generation Americans. Generally, I follow Pew.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
Pew and others talk about generation 1.5, an immigrant child arriving after the age of 10. Younger children are more Americanized in schools— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
So, generally speaking if you were born and/or raised from a young age in US, you're considered second-gen, older immigrants first-gen.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016
So, e.g., my great-grandparents emigrated from Quebec in late nineteenth century (gen. 1), grandparents born in US (gen. 2), parents (3).— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) June 19, 2016

Whitney Houston, "Exhale". Her final #1. While she would continue to hit Top 5 through the rest of the 90's, her pop success would fade (beyond the dance chart) in the new century. We still have about a week of Houston hits before moving on to Michael Jackson.
