White Europeans might not be as scrutinized as people of other races when it comes to their immigration status.

Many people of other races are here illegally, and are not booted out of the country. As long as you don't commit a criminal act, it's pretty much guaranteed that you won't be deported. You have many "civil disabilities," though, as an illegal alien.
Whether you're white or black or whatever.
Sting's song eloquently articulates how easy it is for a foreigner from the "mother country" to assimilate seamlessly into the New York environment. There is a deeper level than simply visa issues.
