According to a new report from the Pew Research Center, Asian Americans accounted for 36 per cent of all immigrants in 2011, while Hispanics accounted for 31 per cent. The shift has been largely fuelled by a decline in immigrants from Latin America, the result of a clampdown on immigration from Mexico, a weak U.S. economy and increased deportations.
Today, international students studying at American colleges are most likely to come from Asian countries. Many stay on to work after graduation. Asian students – both foreign born and U.S.-born – earn a huge portion of the doctoral degrees awarded.
Asian students earned 45 per cent of all engineering degrees in 2010, and 38 per cent of doctorates in mathematics and computer sciences.
