>Second generation children of immigrants vastly outperform children of non-immigrants, when you compare them by family income.
Do they? Can you provide a citation to back up this assertion, in France?

They do in the US. I have no clue about France.
Here is a source:
Intergenerational Mobility of Immigrants in the United States over Two Centuries, Ran Abramitzky American Economic Review, vol. 111, no. 2, February 2021

Here is a podcast with the study authors:

My point is that immigration in the US is somewhat different from immigration in most other countries. The US does a much better job of assimilating people from other cultures. How much this can be blamed on the immigrants, geography, or the host countries is debatable though. But instead of doing the American thing and ignoring everything outside US borders, as Americans almost always do, I think it's important to look at how things work elsewhere and see if there's lessons to be learned there.
I dont disagree that there are multiple factors. That said, you do realize that this is an article about the US and the Texas boarder, right?
It seems you want to talk about other countries. Do you have any lessons you would like to share from abroad?
> in France
