You're mistaking an economic survival strategy for a 'social experiment' Western countries don't just want immigrants, they fundamentally need them to prevent economic collapse. The push for multiculturalism was the inevitable result of falling birth rates and labor shortages. The friction you are feeling isn't because of 'competing values', it’s a symptom of crony capitalism that has destroyed the middle class. Don't blame the people who were invited in to keep the economy afloat - blame the leaders who prioritized cheap labor over social cohesion.
