Not eastern european immigrants per se, but rather eastern european immigrants of Jewish extraction. It remains a mystery to me why so many Jews tend toward socialistic ideals. Even more puzzling to me is their attitude towards defense of Israel. I have a very good Jewish friend/colleague whose grandparents were communists and he is decidedly leftwing himself. David Horowitz=another example, but he saw the light.

Actually many "white ethnic groups" remain quite liberal, or at least vote that way in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The Irish and Greek immediately come to mind. And it isn't just an America phenomenon. But for the revanchist stupidity of the Irish, Welsh and Scots the UK would be far more conservative.
