[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you are clearly a troll. however here are some examples from my millennial classmates who were born in other countries, including those you mentioned:

-policy advisors
-assistant principal
-so many doctors
-bilingual journalists
-science phds who are making the world a better place
-engineering/computer science-y folks who are designing the technology that we will depend upon in 10 years

Classmates from where, high school?  I am genuinely interested to know what high school has graduated kids born to [b]Latin American immigrants [/b] (re-read OP's question) who grew up to be policy advisors and 'so many doctors.'   Or hard science PhDs or engineers.

I've worked in medicine in the DMV for about 8 years and I can count on one hand the number of doctors I've met who were born to immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, etc.  I WISH there were more, there's a desperate need.   [/quote]

NP here. OP said “immigrant communities” in the title. She then seemed to use Latin and African as examples, but she wasn’t clear she was only asking about them. Many immigrants’ children are tremendously successful, more so than children whose ancestors have been in the US for generations. We all know who those groups are,[b] Indians, Chinese, Korean, Iranian, and so on. Why? Because their parents were usually well educated themselves or became entrepreneurs[/b]. [/quote]

Well, we know that when people come into the country with existing wealth and education, they tend to do well. When they do not, it usually takes a few generations to see real social mobility. That's true for Asian immigrant communities as well. [/quote]
