Income, not wealth. Particularly not after inheritances transfer.

The studies I am familiar with focus on the lowest income quintiles, where inheritance wealth transfer is less of a consideration. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if wealth transfer favored immigrants as well when families are controlled and matched for comparison.
