People migrate for economic reasons, not because they want to replace their own brain with the brain of the destination country people.
The US was was relatively good at integrating migrants into a certain idea of america, but that's not the norm around the world, and I don't think that vision of america exists anymore. Maybe in the upper-middle class, but certainly gone in the lower classes.
