By definition that is true, but it could also be the case that effects of migration are so varied and context-specific that very few generalisations can be made about them. For example, the experiences of two Londoners who both have ancestors from the area now called Nigeria could be very different depending on whether their family arrived via a Caribbean slave plantation, or direct from Lagos.

I thought of another example based on level or type of assimilation underway. A newly arrived immigrant might get better (or worse) advice by asking a native "what should I do about X?" than if he asked one of his already established fellow immigrants who had by then learned how to "game the system" to his/their advantage.
