Many of these same third worlders end up seriously overrepresented in crime statistics and underrepresented in employment numbers. I have a hard drive full of statistics that show diversity is a weakness.

Migrants from south america already speak spanish when they go into the democratic us. So where is the problem?
In other 50 to 100 years when Spanish becomes the official language of the United States and the Mexican flag flies over the White House I suppose there will be no problem.

Very different from the behaviour by democratic people who seldom learn the language of locals when they go into a foreign land -save china.
Last time I checked 'democratic people' do not flood into China or other thirds world cesspools by the millions. Send 100,000 Europeans a year into China and see how the Chinese people react; I doubt linguistic communication will be their first worry.

Hard to find a democratic one living in africa speaking an african language. Hard to find a democratic one living in the democratic us speaking an indian language.
It is a tad hard to learn an African language when your farm is being arsoned or seized, wife raped, daughters sodomised and sons hung from ceiling beams.

Yet fact is that venitians are limited in their use of their language by democratic people, not the savages.
You have not even presented a link or source for this claim so I cannot comment on this claim specifically.
