> There are plenty of low-trust societies

And high trust societies have spent the past two decades importing tons of H1B style workers from many of the lower trust countries

Be snotty about it if you want but I didn't invent the term "low trust society", it's a pretty accepted term in social psychology from what I can tell

And based on that, countries like India, Pakistan, Phillipines, Nigeria, Syria all quality as "low to very low trust", and they also represent some of the highest numbers of immigration to many countries right now. A full 30% of immigrants to Canada over the past 5 years are from India, for example.

I don't think it is that unreasonable of me to suggest that people from low trust societies bring low trust behavior with them.

Which does not imply they are untrustworthy people by the way. It does imply a different set of expectations and public behaviors though, which often chafe with their new country
