As for the ones that are, you know, 3rd generation identity conflict ones; those are easy too. They are going to either go full one way, or full the other. They'll abandon the way of the old country, or decide that they should stay "true to their self" and "be with their people", and then proceed to fuck off.
I have seen that exact trend being cited as one of the reasons that the Hispanic population has been taking such a hard turn toward voting Republican in more recent elections. A lot of them are starting to identify not as their nation of origin (Mexican, Guatemalan, Salvadorian, etc) beyond a cultural heritage like the Germans and Italians before them. Instead, they are identifying as American, and starting to act American in terms of their beliefs and attitudes. Which is then causing them to shift their political leanings to match the new identity.
It wouldn't surprise me. By the 5th generation, the immigrants are typically fully Americanized (unless something weird like intentional isolationism is taking place, or that 3rd generation went hard 'home-country', but never left America.)
That 3rd generation is really the danger point, and frankly, I'd honestly say we should target them the most with integration efforts. The pioneer generation (whom is voluntary) is normally very pro American. The 2nd generation is American leaning, but typically just has a "I'm both" kind of mentality. The 3rd generation is always the one to chose: full MAGA or full ISIS. It seems like it's the last generation before they become fully integrated, and they either have to abandon the old ways, or push them quite hard in their narrative.
The problem with mass migrants is that a lot of these are not going to have the 'self-selected 1st generation pioneer' status. That's very bad. That's what grounds the 2nd and 3rd generation to their identity as Americans. If you just pull random people into the first generation, there's no way they are going to properly integrate. The only people you want migrating to your country is the ones already dreaming about it, probably have already visited it, and want to renounce their citizenship. The last thing you want is Niko Bellic.
