This could be correct, a lot of Americans might go to a Junior College for a few night classes then that's it, but they are counted as "attended college". For the illegals this probably represents most of those who "attended college".

Vortex, I think what they are doing to the American people and our country makes them MOD EDIT, too!

A good proportion of the illegals are uneducated and/or do not have a high school diploma. Most did not even make it into high school. It probably depends on who is filling out the forms for them as to whether they will claim they are living with a significant other or not. If they apply for freebies such as free school lunch, welfare or food stamps the moms are always living alone. If someone is questioning them and trying to make it look like they have good family values then they will put down they are married.

Richard, you are right! Tomorrow I will spend time out on the lawn deporting all the dandelions off of my property.

PLEASE......just don't deport them here to Arizona V.....we have far too many dandelions as it is

[quote="Judy"]"An analysis of college attendance finds that among unauthorized immigrants ages 18 to 24 who have graduated from high school, half (49%) are in college or have attended college. The comparable figure for U.S.-born residents is 71%."

What is Pew up to now??!![/quote]




Spinning!

Think about the drop out rates for this demographic. When you consider this figure in that context, there just aren't that many attending college of any sort.

Lies, lies, and more LIES.

Exactly starting with the statement that there are only 11,900,000 of them to begin with.[/quote]

"In 2007, Americans stood second only to Canada in the percentage of 35 to 64 year olds holding at least two-year degrees. Among 25 to 34 year olds, the country stands tenth. The nation stands 15 out of 29 rated nations for college completion rates, slightly above Mexico and Turkey.[34]"
