I think most immigrants become either extreme winners, extreme losers/going on benefit or become extreme hard workers. The situation of immigrants leave few medium choices.

It may be true that non-European immigrants do best in higher education, but they also do "best" in crime. I wonder why. Are there two distinct groups going two different roads?

A private theory is that those who come for working do better, and those who flee from violence do worse. Those who come for work take a step to a better life, those who flee from violence may end up in desperation.

I would like the theory to be tested. Or if that has already been done I would like someone coming up with a better theory.
