I tend to agree with you Edward, or I have at least moved closer to the possibility there being more fascistic actions by our government. I see tendency on both the right and the left in the US to act in ways that would reflect fascism. But I don't know if it has anything to do with immigrants and is likely much more a domestic byproduct of natural born citizens. Authoritarian responses from governments come from people who don't like the outcomes of liberty for those who think differently than they do.

The problem is immigrants are a self selected group, so they don't represent the average citizen from their home country. Also places like Nigeria, Japan and Israel have low trust, but when they come here they have high economic status.
