I read that as- most legal immigrants come to america and have a better skill set than an average american and/or push their kids to attain a skill set that will provide for them better than an average american? That seems more like a problem with an average american than the chart being skewed. I'm sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly.
Then the solution would be for 80% of Americans to have a college degree and then theoretically they would be at the top of the list. It's skewed because its comparing recent immigrants to the rest of the population and the recently immigrated have higher levels of college. It's not like in india 70% of the pop has a bachelor's.
Well what's stopping them than? Even without college you can still probably outcompete the japanese for the number 5 spot with a trade skill.
I suppose, if the economy supported that amount of highly skilled trades but I have not heard of a shortage in that area.
