Asian immigrants out-number hispanics.

"The educational credentials of these recent [Asian] arrivals are striking," the report said. Sixty-one percent of 25-to-64-year-old Asian immigrants come with at least a bachelor's degree—more than double non-Asian immigrants, making the recent Asian arrivals "the most highly educated cohort of immigrants in U.S. history."

Seems like they're just stating a demographic factoid.

Agree with Go Beavers, but it is a fine line. If, for example, someone posted a stat about african-americans and incarceration rates, there might be a bit of a fallout in the AMT, just because people would wonder what the underlying point of the post was.

That article didn't read like they were including illegal aliens in their count.

So they aren't here to do the jobs that Americans won't do?

who are the "they" you are talking about ? nobody comes to our country to do jobs Americans wont do.. they sneak in and work for a lesser wage so now Americans can't afford to work those jobs and support them selfs and or their familys...bottom line ...right ?

my op was not about that but your post does bring up something that has been a common misconception (doing jobs Americans wont do)

I'm confused....are you saying Mexicans can support themselves and their families on those wages, but americans can't?

I'm always at least a little interested in discussions about who will and who won't do agricultural work. So much of it is done by machine now and yet still, it requires a lot of manual labor and that mostly by Hispanics. Years ago, I worked on the small farm my brother manages and we all got paid low wages and I have to say most of the hard work was done by Mexican employees or kids taking summer work. Just an observation from my experience. But in a post-oil world we'll see a lot more of everybody working in agriculture and fewer machines. We'll have no choice but to rely mostly on local agriculture and we'll see people of all nationalities in the fields. If I were thirty or forty years younger I'd learn much more about how to handle horses or repair tools or make things by hand.
