Chapter 4. The Human Capital (Schooling) of Immigrants in America This chapter deals with several salient issues about immigrants to the US and their education. These issues include a comparison of the schooling accomplishments of immigrants and the native born that emphasizes the considerable diversity in the schooling accomplishments among different immigrant subgroups and between legal and undocumented migrants. I also examine the role of the foreign born who come to the United States for post secondary schooling. Finally I show that the educational generational progress among all groups of immigrants to the United States has been quite impressive during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
