> Immigration only works if the cultures are very similar so that they can assimilate, or the immigration levels are very low.
People just make this stuff up, any rationalization for hatred. It's not hard to see how immigration has worked, how Europe integrates with itself (a continent that fought endless wars before the proto-EU was born), and how the US is a country of immigrants. Rather than repeat it all, see:
"... Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion. ..."
It's very easy to see how immigration hasn't worked. Visit London, Brussels or Paris. Compare that to cities that have low immigration rates, like Warsaw.
Europe integrated itself because European countries have very similar culture, and are same/similar race.
You're comparing London, Brussels and Paris to Warsaw? I think most people would consider the former three to be much 'better' cities and greater successes - Paris and London are considered two of the greatest cities in the world! Right there with New York, also a home for immigrants from all over.
Yes, I have. You are living in an Internet disinformation unreality - just like the nonsense the right wing craps out about how horrible and dangerous NY is. As empirical data, look up real estate prices and tourism to the three cities, and see how Warsaw compares. Remember, people in Europe can easily go to Paris or Warsaw; going to London is a bit harder.
And that is with massive disinformation campaigns against immmigrants and 'liberal' cities.
(No offense to Warsaw - maybe only NY and Tokyo measure up to London and Paris.)
