    Throw a whole bunch of people with no cultural knowledge,

I could be wrong, but I thought we had one of the largest Syrian diaspora communities in the nation in southeast Michigan currently.

I don't know, but I mean they don't have knowledge of American culture. This could be problematic if we're isolating 50,000 culturally and ethnically homogeneous people into an area in that it might create a ghetto of sorts. The last thing Detroit needs is another ghettoized community.
