"Reports Finds Negative Correlation Between Immigration And Education Levels"
This is apparently an unintended consequence.
Knowing who is legal vs. illegal might tell a story.
I'm guessing that Asians are NOT contributing to this decline as much as other nationalities...

Bob Livingston's PersonalLiberty.com website has this:
"A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has found that California has the least-educated labor force of any state in the United States, and this may be due to the high levels of immigration in recent decades.
According to the study, 9 percent of California’s population was comprised of immigrants in 1970, but by 2008 it was 27 percent. Forty years ago, the state had the 7th most educated workforce of all U.S. states in terms of the share of workers who had completed high school, but by 2008 it ranked 50th.
The researchers now estimate that one in six workers in the Golden State have not graduated high school."
