Research the cultures of those places and it's clear there are huge differences which are going to make assimilation very, very difficult.

In my original comment in this thread, I said this:
> American conservatives may not hate immigrants, but they sure love a guy who fervently expresses his hatred and disdain for immigrants every chance he gets. They've voted him into our highest office twice, and immigration was a central pillar of his campaign both times. I fully understand that many people who voted for him did so for reasons besides immigration, but at this point if they aren't willing to disavow him after the catastrophic first year-and-change of his second term then I am done giving them the benefit of the doubt, because there must be some reason they still support him, and at this point it sure isn't his performance on inflation, general affordability, etc.
Thank you for demonstrating what this looks like, I guess?
What a complete non-sequitur.
So it's not about illegal vs legal immigration after all, but about where the immigrants come from?
Where they come from also correlates with how likely they are to try entering illegally vs legally.
Like what?
Like US culture perhaps.
In Australia it's not uncommon for Somali immigrants to get econ and business doctorates and spawn commercial enterprises: https://thewarsan.com/the-somali-australian-success-stories-...
