Historically, immigrant upwardly mobility often came at expense of blacks, the bottom run of the ladder. That's also part of the story.

But I disagree with you, Jeet, and with Miller. Economy isn't a zero-sum game. Immigrant success doesn't come at the expense of native-born.

To the extent immigrants gained benefits conferred to whites & denied blacks (which they did) it was at expense of blacks.

Many immigrants climbed up the ladder via menial/sweatshop labor. This wasn't closed to anyone, to the best of my knowledge.
