They come together willingly and to earn money. Nothing else keeps these people together.

. . . of course they come willingly. Were you expecting them to be forced? And as for only coming to earn money- how the hell do you know? That's a massive and incorrect over-generalization. I've spoken with exchange students and a couple of Mexican immigrants who love the suburbs, enjoy the food (because we have such a wide selection), and think the other people they meet are very friendly. Religion keeps some of them together (not that I'm happy about that), friendships across cultures and inter-racial romances unite people as well. And of course, many of the third world immigrants enjoy greater freedoms (though we have fewer freedoms than many of our first-world immigrants are used to.)
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
