The first six you named don't even live as immigrants in America - or any country, they're mostly millionaires and wealthy students, so I'm not sure we can even profile them as proper immigrants. Most of those first six don't even come for work, they just come to buy properties or shop. There are a few exceptions with Saudis, but those immigrant Saudis tend to be naturalized Saudis without a status in Saudi Arabia and even they live middle class like all other Arab-Americans. As for Yemenis, they're so well assimilated in America that they don't even appear to be Arab anymore by custom, and that goes for most second-generation Arabs.

lol @ Emirati/Bahraini/Qatari/Kuwaiti immigrants - does such a thing even f-king exist? :lol:
foreign labor doesn't necessarily mean refugees or immigrants.. the same way they have in the gulf tens of thousands of western labors why can't they (khalijis) go work in the west since some of them like SA have 12% unemployment ? and if they do that are they going to succeed like others i.e Lebanese, Indians, Somalis etc. this is my question.
Where do you live that Somalis are on the same level as Lebanese and Indian immigrants?

Arabians hardly immigrate to the West. The Arabs you see in Europe are mostly North Africans (mainly Maghreb) and Lebanese/Syrian people.

Yemenies.
There's a large Yemeni population here in the UK *the oldest Yemeni community in Europe*.. Yemenis like Somalis have been coming to the UK as seamen as early as the 1900s..
Not only are a high percentage of them successful they have integrated into British society pretty well you'll come across many 1/4 Yemeni people in most port cities over here.. :|

The question is how would you define integration? being yemeni 1/4?
This sounds, to me, 'melting' and disappearing into the bigger pot. Surving, on the other hand, meant that you maintained your self-identity like many Indians etc. I do not know what is going to happen to the Somalis after a decade or so, but right now they are living in segragation.
