To illustrate my point about migration altering a populations IQ, look at this graph. It's from the UK biobank (n=500,000), using one of the new polygenic scores for intelligence. They check where the person was born and where they currently live. People who were born in coal field areas of the UK and move away are substantially genetically smarter than people who remained. This has a permanent effect on the population that remains.
You also see this in African migrants, at least the ones that have to jump through the hoops of migrating legally (i.e. not refugees/illegal immigrants). They are often from the smartest fraction in Africa and do extremely well in the US or Europe. Top American universities are stuffing themselves with them to fulfill the affirmative action diversity quota, which is ironic as they are more likely the ancestors of slave traders rather than slaves.
