You forget one thing that immigrants that come to this country are already the most adventures, strongest, they took a huge risk by moving to another country. The "weaker" less daring stay where they are. Immigrants are looking for a better place, so they will fight for it and make sure there children will get ahead.
But if you're not born in the right family or part of the country it can be tough to get ahead. That's one of the reasons the army is so good at recruiting soldiers from rural areas where there are not many opportunities to get out.
But as an immigrant I can tell you this country gives opportunities not many other countries will give you. But hey I'm white, male, tall, good looking and I speak decent English...
