With recent immigrants things are a little different.  It must really foul
up the expected genotype-phenotype relation (which isn't exactly
overwhelming in the first place).  But I will be interested to see how the
children of these poor immigrants turn out.  If they have large numbers of
kids (and Mexican immigrants often do), I won't be surprised if they don't
do very well.  The second generation might be a lot better.
