%X English Embodying a differential set of skills, refugees experience varying obstaclesand reception upon entry into their host country. Starting in 1975, the U.S. received large numbers ofrefugees from Southeast Asia. Although these arrivals are no longer labeled as 'refugees', theirinitial immigration status raises interesting questions, including whether or not they match theattainment of those who arrived in the U.S. at the same time. Using the 1980 and 1990 Public UseMicrodata Files (PUMS), this paper traces the adaptation of post-1975 Southeast Asians within the U.S.through the lens of segmented assimilation. Refugee flows are disaggregated into Sino-Vietnamese,Ethnic-Vietnamese, Hmong, Cambodians, and Laotian identities and contrasted to Chineseimmigrants. French Pr¨¦sentant des comp¨¦tences diff¨¦rentes, les r¨¦fugi¨¦s vivent des exp¨¦riences et des accueils diff¨¦rents ¨¤ leur arriv¨¦e dans leur pays h te. Depuis 1975, les Etats-Unis ont re u un grand nombre de r¨¦fugi¨¦s de l'Asie du Sud-Est. Bien que ces nouveaux arrivants ne soient plus ¨¦tiquet¨¦s de " r¨¦fugi¨¦s ", leur statut d'immigrant soul¨¨ve tout de m¨ºme quelques questions int¨¦ressantes, ¨¤ savoir s'ils obtiennent le m¨ºme succ¨¨s que ceux qui sont arriv¨¦s aux Etats-Unis au m¨ºme moment. Ce document retrace, au moyen des fichiers de microdonn¨¦es ¨¤ grande diffusion (FMGD) de 1980 et de 1990, l'adaptation des immigrants de l'Asie du Sud-Est arriv¨¦s aux Etats-Unis apr¨¨s 1975 du point de vue de l'assimilation segment¨¦e. Les groupes de courants de r¨¦fugi¨¦s sont divis¨¦s en Sino-vietnamiens, Vietnamiens ethniques, Hmong, Cambodgiens et Laotiens et compar¨¦s aux immigrants chinois.
