[quote=Anonymous]Also just because someone comes from a bad country doesn't mean that they won't be productive americans.  Here is a very interesting post on this issue:

[quote]I decided to a take a look at some data on average family income by ethnicity.

Haitian Americans average $47,541, which is below the national average, but well above the average for African Americans ($40,931) and Mexican Americans ($38,000). Immigrants from countries such as Somalia tend to be quite poor, reflecting their status as refugees. On the other hand, immigrants from Nigeria and Ghana are near the middle of the pack, as their educational levels are very good:

If you wanted an almost perfect example of what average Americans mean by the term 'squalor', you might point to India (especially the India of 10 or 20 years ago.) It features high levels of abject poverty, many beggars on the streets, extremely poor sanitation and cleanliness, poor quality schools, and all sorts of other problems associated with third world countries. And yet immigrants from India actually score number one on the list of average income by ethnicity:[/quote]

The top family income by ethnic group is Indian American's at $107,390, and in 4th place are Filipino American's at $82,389.  Both of these countries aren't really great places to live for the majority of the people and could be truthfully called sh%tholes.[/quote]
