In general, immigrants keep the peace, work fecking hard and contribute economically and culturally beyond their numbers.

I agree totally.well almost totally. USA has tended over 200 years to be choosey about some of the "huddled masses". For example Chinese or "oriental migration" and even within European migration, some were extended a warmer welcome than others.
(that leaves out the huddled masses already there......blacks, hispanics, native americans).
But I agree with your main point.....migrants are generally peaceable, hard workers and contributers to society. I think migration can be at times a "young male" activity. And certainly in my own small town any "trouble" seems to be young male trouble, without the civilising influence of ladies (God bless them!"
Nothing unusual in that of course.
Young males follow the mob.
Young males on holiday in Ibiza, Lanzarote, can be a pain in the neck.
Young males on a night out of barracks in Catterick, Portsmouth, Aldershot, Colchester etc...same thing
Young males at footy at Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Ibrox, etc...same thing.
And dont start me on young male students.......durty bassards.
