In the case where place of birth dictates culture and customs, then yes in that sense there is a difference. Culture is a very difficult thing to change.
What we get is culture clash, where people are essentially born with different values, customs, and ways to behave in society.
There is very good internet lore, which sort of describes this phenomenon called "The Eternal September":

What Europe is experiencing right now, is essentially the same as what the internet experienced during Eternal September; the ability and capacity to assimilate has been exceeded, and therefore yes, there is a very real possibility of destruction of the western culture and values.
As for stopping the bombing and destruction of these countries, you simply cannot argue with that proposition.
It's actually quite perplexing that politicians are putting so little effort into solving the root cause, instead preferring the virtue signalling easy route, without seemingly any thought to the actual cultural and societal consequences of their actions.
- ddnb 8y ago> Where people are essentially born with different values, customs, and ways to behave in society. When I went to school there was a pretty high number of second generation muslim immigrants, but even there you already saw their strict values eroding. Where their parents were mostly strictly religious, most kids (not all) went partying and drinking, didn't care about wearing veils. A girl from back then, became my neighbour last year and she couldn't care less about religion anymore, they have decent jobs and live life like everyone else here. I'm certain not every immigrant or their kids will adjust as fast, but it's a matter of time, if not this generation, the next. What 'strict' values will my neighbours kid still have from their 'home' country? They won't even be brought up with their religion anymore. > the ability and capacity to assimilate has been exceeded Has it? Can this be quantified in some way? Just like my anecdote, is this a personal feeling? As I don't feel that way at all.

I certainly wouldn't take that happening as a given. If you bend over backwards to attempt to accommodate their culture in the west, you aren't giving any incentive to join your culture and worldview. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1540895/Young-British-Muslims-getting-more-radical.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1540895/Young-Britis...
