I'm not aware of any good numbers on this for college admissions specifically, but African migrants who arrive after 13 or so do really really well on all the standard social functioning and success metrics, and I'd be beyond shocked if they weren't over-represented at Ivies.
In general, legal immigrants have to pass a pretty strong filter. (If I weren't a US citizen, it would be very difficult for me to become one, because I don't have a college degree and I'm not wealthy. Marriage would be my only viable route.)

Yes, and this means that you're getting a very strong preference for students who will do well independently, which is against the point of diversity initiatives.

It sort of begs the question about why we're so set on using indirect proxies for these things, no? There are plenty if ADOS coming from wealthy, college-educated families, and plenty of refugees/illegal immigrants who are not.
