Pew Research: 4-in-6 Immigrants in U.S. Have High School Education or Less

The majority of illegal and legal immigrants living in the United States have a high school diploma or less, newly released research by Pew Research Center reveals.

The research finds that of the 1.5 million foreign nationals that the U.S. imports every year, the majority are less educated than native-born Americans, 40 percent of which have at least college or university degrees.

Overall, about 64 percent of the nation’s foreign-born population 25-years-old or older has just a high school education or less. About 28 percent of the foreign-born population — including illegal and legal immigrants — has less than a high school education. A little more than 35 percent have a high school education.The driver of unskilled, less educated mass immigration to the U.S., Pew researchers concede, is the policy known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country regardless of their skills or educational level. Chain migration makes up about 70 percent of the legal immigration system.

“The U.S. approach differs from other immigration systems,” Pew researchers note. “Most lawful permanent residents enter as family members and largely have no educational requirements for entry into the U.S.3 Also, about a quarter, or 10.7 million, of the United States’ immigrant population is unauthorized, and these immigrants are generally less educated than those in the country legally.”

Five Years of Chain Migration Adds More People to U.S. than One Year of American Births | Breitbart

Foreigners brought more children to America from 2005 to 2015 than American parents delivered in any two years of the decade.

Since 2005, 9.3 million foreign nationals have been able to resettle in the U.S. for no other reason than they had extended family members already living in the country. This huge inflow outpaces two years of American births, which amount to roughly four million babies every year.

Meanwhile, countries with merit-based legal immigration systems have foreign-born populations with high levels of educational attainment.

For example, Australia, which has a merit-based legal immigration process, has a foreign-born population where 63 percent of the immigrants have a college degree or more. Canada, which also has a merit-based legal immigration system, has a foreign-born population where 65 percent have at least a college education.

Being less educated than native-born Americans, illegal and legal immigrant households also use more federal welfare and public services than Americans, as Breitbart News has reported.

A study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that the majority of foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household.

Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44.5 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Enforce Public Charge LAWS and deport them. No more freebies!

That is the "entitlement" reform we need to begin with and enforce. Paul Ryan screaming about entitlement reform every chance he could, why did he not demand foreigners and illegal aliens are cut off FIRST over the citizens of our own country?

It is a privilege to come here, not a right, and they have no right to deplete our social service programs which we have worked for and contributed to our whole lives!

Do an audit of the welfare, food stamps, healthcare and tax refunds they get and cut them off starting now.

No illegal aliens in our schools! No two sets of rules for those who apply for Student Visa's and come here legally and those who do not! Get them out of our schools and the stop the $15,000 per year costs along with ESL classes, free breakfast and free lunch. Why should they get more free food when they already get our food stamps for their food!!!

Ellis Island...they were vetted, given NO free stuff and were sent back if they had any medical conditions or diseases!

US taxpayers should not be forced to pay for their medical care!

Send them back!

When my Mom got off the ship on Ellis Island in 1929....she was sick (flu) and isolated...she was soooo scared they were going to send her back....and her parents could not afford to resend her....She said it was the scariest time of her life....(She got better and was released to her sponser)

Having the flu is one thing, having TB, AIDS, STD's, Ebola, respiratory diseases, skin diseases and chronic medical conditions are very concerning considering the millions that are coming into our country

Glad she got well and all worked out grandmasmad

Sadly, unless birthright citizenship is ended, the offspring of illegal aliens will continue to legally receive free schooling, free healthcare, free lunches, and money for anything else they need. Birthright citizenship is turning red states purple and blue, as this population has increased primarily by births as opposed to immigration for some years now. Multitudes of them are of voting age now, with new births to illegals happening every day, every where in our country. President Trump, please save our country and end birthright citizenship!

The American Dream of yesteryear, a nice home, picket fence, clean streets and a safe neighborhood...







The American Nightmare of today cause by illegal immigration and unfettered legal immigration...
