It slows down the flow, which facilitates assimilation of the smaller pool people who go through the process. You’re much more likely to assimilate if you’re not living in a place with thousands of other people from your origin country.

Define assimilation please!

- i started watching football with my american friends

- i studied the american political system enough to have educated discussions about it

- i caught healthcare fraud at federal level which was mainly hurting very old americans.

- i started doing barbeque

- i started going out on the weekend

- i tip heavily

what i don't do: eat at drive throughs, buy stuff that i don't need, guns etc.

I still carry a chip on my shoulder and worry about ICE just detaining me for no reason.

"They don't assimilate" is just a cover for "They don't look and talk like us".
