The difference is, the Vietnamese do not wreak bedlam upon the community and for the most part, contribute something to the area. a 1 million strong army of unskilled, uneducated and backward immigrants coming from an entirely different culture will scarcely be able to contribute anything of substance to Germany. I read somewhere that alot of them are starting to move back to their countries, because they realized they wore out their welcome, but we will see if the Germans come to their senses and start booting them out involuntarily.
