Default Migrants don't know what CAN'T be done

Migrants don't have the internal governer most of us "Natural Borns" have that tugs at our gut and says, "ah, that can't be done because..."

Their naivety is an asset.

Default True, as well...

This goes hand-in-hand with what I mentioned to Jack. Most people would not think they can go live in another country. The migrant is not stopped by those thoughts. They take more control of their life.

But there is another advantage. It is a bigger advantage.

Migrants have it. Most people don't. Most people only get the advantage once they are in a position in which they can't make full use of the advantage.

Default the objectivity of the outsider

One advantage an outsider has is the ability to more clearly see the obvious opportunities and problems unhampered by the judgement and cultural baggage of the insider.

Whenever we label ourselves (American, Christian, lawyer, mother) we assume a set of shared preconceptions as the price of that membership. These judgments and unwritten rules color and warp external reality to fit the picture the group has of it's position in the world.

The outsider has (at least for a limited time) the opportunity to see things more objectively.

Good point. Already covered, though.

It is true they would seem to be able to see the opportunities more clearly. Yet for those who can't we have publications which reveal them. So that newcomers edge is not so big.
