Article: College-Educated Immigrants in the United.. | migrationpolicy.org

An underappreciated recent U.S. immigration trend is the rising number of immigrants who hold university-level degrees. This is particularly the case for recently arrived immigrants: 48 percent of those coming to the United States within the 2018-22 period had a college degree. The immigrant population overall slightly outperforms on educational attainment, representing 17 percent of all college-educated adults ages 25 and older in the United States, even as they were slightly less than 14 percent of the total U.S. population as of 2022.

Some college-educated immigrants come to the United States on temporary visas for high-skilled workers and researchers, as family members of U.S. residents, humanitarian migrants, or via other paths. Others obtain their education once already in the United States. Thirty-five percent of all immigrant adults (14.1 million people) had a bachelor’s degree or higher as of 2022, roughly similar to the 36 percent of all U.S.-born adults (67.8 million) who graduated college.

The number of college-educated U.S. immigrants has grown rapidly since 1990. This population increased by 89 percent between 1990 and 2000, 55 percent between 2000 and 2010, and 56 percent between 2010 and 2022 (see Figure 1). The native-born college-educated population also has grown, but at a slower pace, by 32 percent, 26 percent, and 40 percent, respectively. The faster growth of the high-skilled immigrant population means that their share of all college-educated adults in the United States also has increased over the last three decades, from 10 percent in 1990 to 17 percent in 2022.

Asian American groups condemn house passage of China Initiative | AsAmNews

“The China Initiative was a failed program that fueled racial animosity, xenophobia, and suspicion towards the AAPI community and Chinese Americans in particular,” said the Committee of 100. “Reimplementing this program would send shockwaves of fear across the AAPI community.”

The House Wednesday also advanced H.R. 9456, The Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024 by a 269-149 vote.

The bills are two of more than 20 proposals the GOP is planning to introduce this week for what it is dubbing “China Week.”

“HR 9456 is a call-back to the alien land laws of ugly parts of American history, and its dangerously broad language means that every legal immigrant and refugee from targeted countries, including China, Iran and Russia, who want to pursue an American dream of owning a farm are treated as national security threats,” said Rep Judy Chu (D-CA), chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

शराफत / Decency  – Kaushal Kishore

 

हमारे जमाने में लड़के भी शरीफ होते थे, लड़कियां भी सादगी से भरपूर,

लेकिन खूबसूरती के आकर्षण के तकाजे पर, और उम्र से मजबूर…

देख लेते थे एक दूसरे की ओर कनखियो से सबकी नजर बचाकर,

लेकिन झेंप जाते थे बड़ी शराफत से मिलते ही एक दूसरे से नजर…

👀👀👀👀👀👀

In our time, girls and boys were decent and pure, 

But as youth and beauty’s charm began to lure…

They’d cast quick and shy glances, quiet and discreet,

Their cheeks would redden when their eyes would meet…
