 Education gap lurks as ticking time bomb in ongoing US border crisis (msn.com)

Of adult immigrants who said they came to America in the past two years, 41% had at least a bachelor’s degree, down from 55% of new arrivals as recently as 2018.

The share of newcomers with no more than a high-school education increased from 29% in 2018 to 44% in 2024.

That's pretty good for the US.


Not surprisingly, less-educated immigrants tend to be a large fiscal burden not because they are lazy and don’t work but because they earn modest wages and pay relatively little in taxes, even when paid on the books.

That's not so good.
