> The US also heavily vets its immigrants (unlike Sweden) and places the most oppressive integration-force-field second only to France. The air you breathe (Media), the carrot (The American dream) and the stick (the English language) all perfectly align to facilitate integration of the 2nd generation born into the US. Most of America's immigration comes from the southern border and is completely unvetted. Your thoughts on integration also don't align with reality. Edit: participating in this thread has resulted in the moderators of this site applying a rate limit to my account, so I can no longer reply.

The rise of massive Hispanic immigration to the US is fairly recent [1] About 25% of USA's immigration is as a result of unvetted immigrants from the south [2]. It is still a minority. The majority come here through family (pre-integrated) or for work (high bar for productivity). Also, Mexico is not the same as war torn middle-east. Mexicans are already culturally aligned (Christianity), ethnically aligned (massive white admixture) and economically far closer to the developed world as compared to the recent warn-torn middle eastern nations. There have been large & well-established Spanish-Christian communities within the US for centuries, which makes it much harder for them to ghettoize. My point about the integration force-field still stands.

  You isolated Mexico for some reason. Your source cites 50% for Mexico and other Latin American countries. Also, while it is true that there is significant (Southern) European admixture in Mexico, it is much less represented among those who come to America.

Unvetted, probably, sure, but culturally similar.
