90% of the priests around here (NY Metro area) are imported from 3rd world nations....you just don't see many priests from the area.
When I was a kid in Catholic grade school, our parish had a large number of priests and nuns, all American or western European born. My HS was manned by Marist Brothers...all American or European. I just don't see this anymore, at least around here.
Vocations are blossoming in those dioceses where solid, orthodox catholicism is taught. Archbishop Burke had a waiting list for his seminary. Here in New York State, when is the last time you heard a bishop preach on the perils of sin? Albany and Rochester are counting down the remaining years until their 'progressive' bishops retire. It is like a wasteland up here. The good news in NY is the new bishop for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. It is a slow process but he is turning things around down there. Long Island was my home up until 16 years ago. Perhaps under Archbishop Dolan, you will see a change in NYC.
