I too followed a similar path with parents migrating from South Asia.
What seems clear to me is that behaviour is a function of environment.
The same Bangladeshi that needs a bribe to put in the phone line isn't going to be demanding one when he sets it up for you in New Jersey.
(I don't think you even disagree with that)

I'm advocating rate-limiting immigration to a level that allows us to comfortably absorb and Americanize the people coming in. > What seems clear to me is that behavior is a function of environment. The "environment" is created by people. If you plop 10 Bangladeshis into New Jersey, they will conform to the environment. If you plop 10,000 Bangladeshis into New Jersey, you will have imported the environment from Bangladesh to New Jersey.
