Again, you are misunderstanding a statistic. "Integrate" in this case refers to language and cultural assimilation. That takes at least 2-3 generations whether the person is a poor migrant fruit picker or a university-trained engineer making $80,000 a year. But the latter isn't a drain on social services, and it's why white-collar immigrants don't have nearly the hard time as poor immigrants do. Immigration is not that hard at all if you can prove you have skills we need.
