The country is not the determining factor for life expectancy.  Some
immigrants live like the country of origin and presumably they would have
life expectancies similar to said country.  Some immigrants live like the
host country and should have similar life expectancies.
2 caveats
1- genes matter
2- what happens in the womb is enormously important and must be taken into
consideration.
