immigration is not just foreign born population. immigrants and their children now account for one in five U.S. residents (65 million). 150k people immigrate to USA every month. These stats are just known immigration which doesn't account for unknown( or poorly accounted) number of illegal immigrants. This has been going on for a LONG time making USA one of the most diverse populations in the world. Most dominant group in usa is 56% of the population. 95% of finland is white, by comparison.
Do you really think it only takes less than a decade of immigration for country to fall apart from immigration? Even with this tiny immigration they have virulent anti immigrant sentiments with majority of people highly in favor of restricting immigration.
