My father grew up in North East Minneapolis in the "Russian Quarter". This was back post-WWII. There are still quite a few Russian Orthodox churches in the area, but other ethnic groups have pretty much changed the demographics of the area.

Every immigrant group goes through the same levels of hatred and bigotry until they get themselves established in a community. The problem with our current crop of ILLEGALS is that they are criminals. By definition. Those who come here legally don't remain as isolated. Rewarding the criminals with an amnesty only cheapens what it means to come to America and BECOME an American. There can be no trying to negotiate this issue from a position of weakness by giving in to their demands. As with every other issue like this, if you cave in on it once, you will continue to do so for every subsequent demand.
