I specifically said that the US was not welcoming until the 1980s. So I think we're in agreement? The US currently is a good place for people of color. The same couldn't be said for the US in the past. Additionally, I believe there are studies showing that immigrants always do significantly better than those of a similar socioeconomic group in their home countries because immigrants are self-selected group who sought out better opportunities and often dedicate themselves to bettering their own lives. It's a little bit of nuance, but I think its important since so often people (not you!) stereotype immigrants as part of the 'tired, poor, huddled masses' when in the modern era due to statutory requirements to get a VISA, immigrants are not the bottom most of any society.
