That doesn't surprise me in the least. Immigrants have one leg up over the competition: they have generally very little to lose and everything to gain. They have also already self-selected for being people that are not risk adverse (they just left everything behind to start a new life) and they are executing on their dreams.
I often see people that rant against immigrants in general and I always wonder how they would react if you explained to them that their old age pension likely depends on some not yet born immigrant and his or her children.
