In 2016, there were 43.7 million immigrants in the United States. That's 13.5 percent of the total population. About 1 million immigrants a year receive green cards that allow permanent legal resident status.
Immigrants live with 16 million American-born children who are U.S. citizens. Those immigrants and their families make up 25 percent of all U.S. residents. Almost 75 percent are documented immigrants and their children.
Immigrants have less education than the average American. But that's improving. For example, thirty percent of immigrants, 25 and older, lack a high school diploma compared to 9 percent of native-born adults. But that's better than in 1970 when more than half of immigrants lacked a high school diploma.
Furthermore, 30 percent of immigrants have a college degree. That's similar to the 32 percent of native-born counterparts. Forty-seven percent of immigrants who entered between 2012-2016 have that degree.
hope that helps and there are definitely some key points in that, but i'm not doing it to be annoying so you have to work for the answer and find it
