No, they experience more severe alienation because they don't have significantly worse comparators to measure it against. Generation after generation of grinding (comparative) poverty vs a sense of self respect from making it to the 'land of opportunity' and working for a better life for you/your kids. Also contra Trump, this implies that the average immigrant is probably a pretty productive member of society, and thus a net economic and social benefit.
