Why do African immigrants do better in the US than African Americans? I'm trying to find sources for income/educational attainment of immigrants *when they come over*, but am only finding sources of *what they have today*.

Ive been wondering about this too. Probably the self selection of African immigrants who had to get on a plane to get here are very different than Latinos who walked/drove.

I guess that narrative doesn't include immigrant doctors / CS students who go on to highly paid jobs

Seems consistent for immigrants to have a harder time and yet for the pool of immigrants to be skilled/educated enough that they have some advantages despite setbacks? If so you'd expect messaging to focus on the setbacks, I don't see a reason to expect nuanced slogans here.

That may be due to putting all immigrants into one group. Africans might typically have more barriers to US entry than others, but it also adds in those that come for political/regional issues. Syrians fleeing war or Mexicans fleeing drug cartels might have different motivations.

I'm an immigrant. I grew up in a community of immigrants; some had educated backgrounds, some didn't. But we all had one thing in common: our parents came here specifically to give us better lives via education - and they let us know this regularly. *That* will motivate people
