"And if they, or their parents, originally got here the same way, that doesn’t mean they want company. They wouldn’t be the first demographic group to raise the drawbridge behind them." True, that. The German Jews who emigrated to the U.S. and did their assimilation bit weren't thrilled by the influx of Russians, Galitzianers, etc., who came by the boatloads around 1900.
