Those numbers are skewed by the law of averages.
India has 1.3 billion people, and over half of them
live in rural areas and are nearly illiterate.
Most of the Indians who show up here though have
Masters Degrees.

Maybe.
But perhaps more important is that the largest percentage of Indians who come to the USA are from high-level castes like the Brahmins. They are the people who have the greatest advantages back in India, like the highest levels of education, income, etc.
Meanwhile, the Indians from the low-level castes — like the untouchables — usually get the wrong end of the stick and seldom make it over the pond to the USA.

Well, that’s an argument for overhauling our immigration laws to favor EDUCATED immigrants.
Australia, Canada, Switzerland and Singapore all have POINTS systems that favor educated and skilled migrants. We should too.
