Among Indian-Americans, strong support for Modi translates to strong support for Trump. Trump even repurposed Modi’s campaign slogan in his one Hindi ad targeting Indian Americans. It is a mistake to think Asian immigrants in particular are social conservatives.

At least among Indians, social progressives disproportionately self-select into immigration. Social conservatives are more likely to go back to raise kids in India, or never leave India in the first place despite having the opportunity.

Depends what you mean by social progressive. I think of American progressivism as sui generis.

Like, I 100% believe that high skill immigration tends to select for people with relatively tolerant attitudes toward women, minorities, and LGBT. But I've seen those very people experience culture shock at the attitudes of American SJWs. liberal tolerance=/=modern progressivism
