No, you don’t really. Search Lakewood and Toms River NJ and Mahwah. Kiryas Joel.
It’s not all that different from not wanting your town dealing with a large influx of people from any other culture, maybe speaking another language, except that the ultra orthodox largely have US citizenship. Maybe dual Israeli also.
But there is a high use of state taxpayer money in the form of welfare.
Even Israel has problems with the ultra orthodox on welfare.
I just checked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiryas_Joel,_New_York
It says "the village has the highest poverty rate in the nation, and the largest percentage of residents who receive food stamps."
That is interesting.
Even Israel has problems with the ultra orthodox on welfare.
I recently watched a news story about that.
So then, Orthodox Jewish and "mainstream" Jewish communities really do differ greatly.
But, welfare is one thing. Murder is quite another.
