    Coastal metropolitan areas is where immigrants chose/choose to live and have communities. They spend $2020/year to visit family in their home countries instead of buying trucks, ranches and all-inclusive resorts, so I wouldn’t call it a splurge.

    I’d say when most immigrants chose/choose to relocate to the US, it isn’t for farming. They immigrate for city jobs and to start businesses in those cities. They go where they’re most welcome.
