Most immigrants to US are not fleeing socialism. Of the top ten countries of foreign born US population, only about 5% can be said to come from truly socialist state, another 15% from pseudo-socialist state like China and Vietnam where they are grwoing rapidly from free economy. Rest of 80% come from free market economies without history of socialism.
