I pretty much agree with what JWB says, a huge part of the problems faced from immigration are problems fuelled by cultural differences and it seems weird how people always try to downplay that, just because it makes us uncomfortable.
Sure, JWB is being edgy again here and there, but most of what he said in this thread is spot on.

It's not that it's being downplayed, but you can't have selective immigration where immigrants from different cultures will get along nicely, otherwise you'd end up with a very linear racial program which prejudices against certain groups. The whole process unfortunately for immigrants is a tough one and the melting pot in which they're thrown is just part of the process and can't be changed, as immigration out of necessity is never going to be easy.
