    WASHINGTON - The number of foreign-born Marylanders is rebounding,
after  the lifting of restrictive immigration in the 1960s, according to
the Census  Bureau. But while immigrants at the turn of the century were
mostly European  laborers, today's immigrants include professionals and
are more likely to be  Asian or Hispanic.
