Do immigrants who identify with their country of birth more than the United States lean more Democratic than immigrants who identify with the United States more than their country of birth? In other words, do immigrants to the United States who consider themselves more "American" than [denonym of their country of birth] vote less Democratic than immigrants who do the opposite?

I would expect this to be the case. Immigrants to the United States who identity more with their countries of birth than with the United States probably have much more positive views of multiculturalism while conservatives, as a whole, tend to expect immigrants to assimilate into what they consider to be the dominant culture of their new country moreso than liberals may. (It is mostly conservatives who push the idea that English be the official language of the United States and that the United States is an inherently Christian nation.)

It seems possible. Being generations removed from immigration very much seems to make people more right-leaning. It's probably not that cut-and-dry though.

Vietnam should also belong to that category - first-generation immigrants tend to be strongly R-leaning, while subsequent generations born in the US tend to be more D-leaning.

The post-Đổi Mới immigrants are a lot less R than the 75er refugees though. They may even be D-leaning outright, or even as similarly D-leaning as other AAPI/APIDA naturalized immigrants.

Also, people who immigrated from Russia and other Eastern European countries (especially those who did so during the Cold War era and shortly thereafter) tend to be R-leaning.
