Sometimes other immigrants can be downright terrible to other immigrants, especially if they are wealthy. I read an article about South Asian business owners exploiting other South Asians to work as domestic servants, restaurant workers, and other low paying jobs. Many people forget who they are (or who they once were) when they come here.
No, if they're a successful business owner, chances are that they didn't come to the US seeking a low paying service job. In America, you're only as exploited as you want to be. These folks are the proof.
