I would argue that if the children of those immigrants are not fitting in then you have a problem. And that problem usually has to do with marginalization. In heavily immigrant areas do the people see themselves reflected in public insitutions? In teaching staff, bus drivers, police? America and Canada have historically been much better at this part than Europe.

A country so fragmented and divided, torn by tensions to the point where recent discussions were mentioning civil war as a possibility, or even as an ongoing thing in a new form. Does immigration offer so much more other than cheap labour ?
- jszymborski 4y agoImmigration is not the cause of polarisation in the US. There is a dangerous precedent of blaming all of a countries problems on immigrants and ethnic groups. Polarisation in the US, in my estimation, has a lot more to do with democratic backsliding [0] cause by economic inequality, populism, cultural conservatism and the concentration of power in the US gov't. Lots of things with much more evidence to point at before you start blaming immigrants. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_backsliding

- ryan93 4y agoYou made such an absurdly strong claim with zero evidence. Their muslim faith and home country culture explains a lot more of their behavior than the skin color of people working public facing roles
