Exactly!!  And it ain;t just damn yankees - many immigrants seem to want to 
recreate all the crap they left - supposedly coming to America to find a 
better life - while dragging all their garbage with them!  Little Italy, 
Little China, Little Germany - and all the others - and while many 
acclimated themselves to become Americans others want to live here while 
maintaining their old life.

Why'd they come here in the 1st place?
