I first noticed this after the killings by Cho Seung-Hui, who was described as a "native of" rather than an "immigrant from" Korea. If he'd been a valedictorian, you can be sure he'd be described as an "immigrant."
Here are some recent examples. This is an immigrant from Jordan, boarding a plane with an illegal gun in checked luggage.
The eastern half of the San Fernando Valley has had a big influx in just the last few years of people from a big swath of the planet running from, roughly Moscow to Yemen. Lots of them are good eggs, but a few have definitely made the place more, uh, colorful. For example, there was this gang who kidnapped and murdered five fellow ex-Soviet immigrants from a luxurious house in the hills of Encino.
And now, from the LA Times:
Brenda Walker did an article fairly recently called Diversity Is Strength! It's Also...Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome. She also wrote about the effects of alienation in the Kurdish gangs of Nashville. Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome is what we seem to be looking at in the Abdulaziz Ibrahim case below.
Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome? Abdulaziz Ibrahim was an Ethiopian immigrant, age 52, described as "retired," who for reasons best known to himself killed three people in Atlanta, wounded two others, and then killed himself. A Google News search for "Abdulaziz Ibrahim" brings up a 129 results, because this is news.
This AP story, ABC News: Foster Program for Immigrants Criticized[By LYNN BREZOSKY, July 21, 2007] is about a program that prevents so-called "unaccompanied children" from being deported. The program is fraud-prone, and there are a number of things wrong with it. (The author quotes a CIS spokesman explaining a couple of them.) But you probably read about it in much more detail here, a little over two years ago:
