New rule: to comment negatively about immigrants, you have to first disclose why your own family members immigrated to the US seeking a better life, and why people facing much worse shouldn’t have the same opportunity.

Describing Little Italy as a parallel society ("Parallelgesellschaft" in Germany) would have made her think a little more, I guess. On the other hand I try to work out how the antisemitic violence of Arabic migrants relates to these former times. Will it simply go away with Americanisation?
To the extent that antisemitic violence is indeed a specific problem among Arab migrants (which assumes facts not in evidence), I think it's about the most mainstream-American (or German, or British, etc) behavior they could possibly display.
