> Immigrants are often more educated than the native US born population

... and are usually unable to do anything with that education because most American employers (outside the very unusual field of software engineering) discount or ignore non-American degrees. An immigrant with an engineering or medical degree making a living by driving an Uber in America is a stereotype very much based in reality. I personally know people who fit that stereotype.

Especially MDs might not even want to put their life on hold like the medical system wants to redo residency and boards.
