Don't know about the rest of the country, but in NYC a HS diploma is worthless. I have personally seen diplomas given to three immigrants that never learned to read or write English, two of the three went to community college and received two years associates degrees. The third was unable to get his associates degree because finally , two years ago, they changed the requirement and required them to pass an English proficiency exam.
They all received free tuition to nyc community college, free books and thousands in cash while in school. There was never a standardized exam given (ie SAT,etc) for community college entrance.
Those I speak about were legal immigrants, but I believe these free benefits of community college for all are given to illegal aliens as well.
Nyc mayor Bill deblasio aka "big bird" has made it illegal for city workers to ask residency status before giving many of the free nyc social services. Nyc is a santuary city of course.
