Well, the difference is--most of these immigrants are well-educated. Once they learn German, they are a boon to the society. Their children will also be high achievers. Actually, many of them are going to Germany because their families were historically ethnic Germans. I doubt that these immigrants will be as much of a drain on the economy as many of the Ossis are currently. Language can be taught, work ethic--I'm not so sure.

I admit that people from the East are probably more willing to integrate. The barrier religion isn´t there (and I don´t consider the jewish and Christian religions not that much different in its values) like it is when Muslims come over.

I have seen many good examples, but even real bad ones... there´s always an individual part to be played by the immigrants.
