It all depends how you define lower castes. I’m not talking about farmer vs merchant vs priest, but about the castes that are toiling in the farms and untouchables or others who can’t even read, surely they are considered to have a lack of resources.
While Indians in the US tend toward the upper castes, it's not true that there aren't any people in the US of lower caste as well. Even in India the disparity between the castes is narrowing as affirmative action and modernization render such differences moot–as such, it isn't really true that people of lower cast have a "lack of resources", so there are people that are able to come over.
