Dearborn took a big swing from Bush to Kerry in 2004. (Dearborn Heights is mostly white union, although there are some rapidly growing Arab pockets there near the Warrendale/"Copper Corner" end of Rouge Park section of Detroit) Dearborn also has a large White Union population, but I suspect it was the Muslim vote that swung for Kerry, since Bush gained a lot of votes in the "Downriver" section of Southern Wayne County.
I'm not an expert here, but I believe a lot of the Arab Muslims are moving to Dearborn while many of the Arab Christians (Iraqi/Lebanese) are moving out of Dearborn to other areas, especially in Macomb and Oakland County. I'm less sure about that than I am about the vote swing.
