all in migrations of refugees have a large criminal element in the initial waves as the criminals are always recognised as enemies of the home state and usually have connections or means to escape. Usually immigrants who are escaping a totalitarian regime are afraid of US governmental representatives out of fear of repatriation. Also the general populace isolates the newly arrived by either ripping them off legally or ostrazing the latest group and forcing them to work harder and cheaper for employers in industry where cheap labor is the razor thin profit margin. Fast food, landscaping etc.
Look at every wave of immegrants here, Irish "gangs of NYC" Italians, the black hand(mafia). Jews, Murder Incorporated. Its not until the second or third generation that realizes that this shit is intolerable and gets the fuck out of whatever ghetto they start in and pretends to be from somewhere else. After the third wave, middle class not many roots to home. working 2 or 3 jobs to be able to afford the "dream" that the 4th generation looking for a meaning to life discover gangsterism again and revel in the hedonism afforded by that. Why white kids in middle class america listen to rap and wear baggy clothes and rob 7 11's for chump change, where yuppie kids in NYC go "wilding" etc.
Its a cycle that will rince wash repeat.
thanx.
