Me, I don’t have any beef with people who work for a living, look after their kids, etc. don’t much care where they’re from if they’re sharing in the same struggles as the rest of us.
Unfortunately a huge population of layabouts dominates several cities here, and they give a bad rap to their brethren who are doing right.
On a separate note, I met Somalis when I was in Chicago. They each, independently of each other, talked about their surprise at being preyed upon when they got here by who they expected to be their African brothers. They all aspired to make their nut in the city and move to the ‘burbs as soon as they old.
It is true that not all races, cultures and thus not all immigrants are the same. WW2 made that manifest.
Among those in major influx groups i have known or observed, the Chinese, Greeks, and Cambodians and are among the most industrious, but i suspect the latter may have lost more offspring to the welfare culture.
The Algerian Muslims work and want to get along, and seem to want freedom from fundamental Islam, and i see nothing suspicious, and have many happy friendly (more modestly dressed) children.
The Cape Verdeans also have large families, but like most others, they lose more to cultural immorality.
Among the Latins, most men also seem to work (how many pay taxes i know not), but there is an very high rate of unwed mothers. It almost seems to be a rite of passage to get pregnant and thus get into the extensive fed and state welfare support system, which gets “better” if one of the children is diagnosed as special needs (14% are). It seems this is more prevalent among Puerto Ricans (who play the loudest music even late at night) though i think that may be matched in many black communities. Fathers are sometimes around, but many, perhaps most, are not married, which the gov. has mode economically detrimental. But which gets pols elected who support the system.
Yet i want to help them all, most importantly to turn to Christ from sin and receive and follow Him who died for them and rose again!
