It's insightful to draw the parallels between both. You're right - the Garcias were just forced to adjust first. That adjustment, however, is powerful. Becoming an immigrant is world-changing. Your expectations are gone and your traditions are what you can carry. It's shit - no doubt. Expect to be knocked down an entire economic rung; if you were wealthy you're middle class and if you were middle class you're picking lettuce. So from the Garcias' perspective, they've given up everything to lick the boots of the Clampetts... and from the Clampetts' perspective, the Garcias have crossed thousands of miles to destroy their way of life. You're right - the Garcias are just ahead of the Clampetts. But the Clampetts are fighting to not be the Garcias.
