Recent immigrants to the U.S. are better educated: report

Recent immigrants to the U.S. are better educated: reportNearly half the recent immigrants to the United States have college degrees, reflecting a steady increase in educational attainment fueled largely by growing numbers of people from Asia, a study released on Thursday showed. Rising immigration from countries such as India, China and the Philippines helped increase the share of arrivals with a bachelor's degree to 48 percent between 2011 and 2015 from 27 percent in the five years through 1990, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan think tank. The findings followed comments by President Donald Trump in March that the United States had "lower-skilled immigration" and should switch to a "merit-based" system to attract people who could support themselves rather than strain public resources.
