Lots of those east Europeans wound up here in the USA when they were able to escape the Soviet tyranny. Back in the 90's I worked with a Hungarian guy who had escaped Hungary in 1956 as a 12 year old with his parents as the Soviet tanks came rolling in. To say they appreciated the United States was an understatement. Those folks have seen the other side of the coin and wouldn't listen to American politicians talking B.S. about doing things for the people. Their attitude was "put up or shut up", AKA "Talk is cheap...... prove it". Funny how so many American born citizens fall for the B.S. line of some smooth talking political scumbag.
