Do you have any data that adjusts for new immigrants (who even if "severely poor" may be wealthier then they where before immigrating)?

No, but I don't know why that's relevant. Why should it matter how poor someone was in Ethiopia before they emigrated to here?

Because the poorest here could become more wealthy, while a new group of poor move in from Ethiopia, or more likely Mexico.


Whether this is true or not and it usually takes a generation for one to go from poor to wealthy, and not one year, any changes brought on by immigration would be statistically insignificant.
