Why #America makes it hard for #immigrants to assimilate

In the latest issue of New York magazine, in an article titled “#ISIS at the Gyro King,” Mark Jacobson tracks the rise of the Uzbek community in the city and the motivation of the three men arrested for attempting to collaborate with America’s enemies. A lot of conclusions reached by Jacobson focus on the difficulty of the immigrant experience. “Many of these recent immigrants had practiced law and medicine in Uzbekistan,” he writes. “But here, with the language barrier, they work long shifts as home health aides and drive taxis, crowding as many as ten in a cramped apartment.” Nothing new here. My father was a doctor in the Soviet Union when he left in 1976; my mother, a teacher. In their first years in Brooklyn, living across the street from where the Gyro King now stands, he was a cab driver and she knitted yarmulkes for a Judaica store.
