Watch for an EXPLOSION in the Latino Crime rate in California when those Mexican baby boomers grow up a la the Black gang crime wave of the 70's 80's and mid 90's...

THAT has already happened, and it started in the 80's. Kalifornia is trashed, thanks to the immigration problem, both legal and illegal.

My issue is with the Eastern European immigration. If they come from a non communist background, fine. They are generally hard workers. I use Glendale, CA as an Armenian experiment gone horribly wrong. If they are from the communist bloc countries, they will (and have) bleed our system dry as well. Including Medicare fraud.

There is no welfare system anymore in Eastern Europe, because there is no money in any of these countries for any major welfare programs like there is in Western Europe.

As far as I can tell, Russians vote Republican, for example, the 56 ward in Philadelphia has the largest concentration of Russians in America, and that ward is the most Republican part of the city.

Russians are tied with Lithuanians as being the most educated Immigrant group in US history.

The education system in Eastern Europe is outstanding, especially in the hard sciences.

So overall, merely due to education levels, Eastern Europeans should assimilate very well into American society.
