America's Top High School Science Students Are the Children of Immigrants

According to an article in Time, 33 of the 40 finalists of the 2016 Intel Science Talent Search – the leading science competition for U.S. high school students – were the children of immigrants.

                                      

Specifically, 30 out of the 40 finalists had parents who worked in America on H-1B visas, the option that is no longer available for expedited processing due to a recent policy change from the Trump administration.
