The US is still better at getting refugees/immigrants to stay in a Minneapolis sized city (let alone a Lowell-sized one or even smaller) and not leave for the nearest Chicago-sized city or bi-coastal metro area than say, Canada would be at getting refugees/immigrants to stay in Halifax, Thunder Bay, or Saskatoon and not leave for Toronto or Vancouver.
uhhhhh, compared to places like thunder bay or saskatoon, the twin cities ARE a "big, huge city".


metro populations:

MSP: 3,600,000

saskatoon: 300,000

thunder bay: 125,000
