Basically a flagrant admission that your society sucks at integrating with other cultures and the best solution to the problem is avoid dealing with it. Fucking joke.

Right, because we should change our culture to make it more welcoming to people who think women who are raped should be punished for enticing men, homosexuality results in death, and anyone who defames the prophet must butchered.  Here's a fucking protip, America has done a better job than any other country in the world at creating a common culture and society from the most diverse group of people.  That a bunch of morons who live in the 12th century want all the convenience of 21st century living in the wealthiest country in the world, but without giving up their 7th century beliefs, doesn't mean America has failed.  It means a bunch of bleeding heart dipshits in Washington are so comfortable and removed from the brutality of the world, they can openly invite mass murdered to our country under the guise of compassion.  Then when one of these nut jobs detonates a bomb or shoots up a place, we blame everything but the simplistic, kindergarten ideology that says "All are welcome, regardless of what you can bring to the table or if you value our laws and customs."

And before some mouth breather rolls out the nonsensical Statue of Liberty quote, remember it's a fucking gift from France and has no legal bearing on our immigration laws.  It was also installed when the worst America was getting were hungry Irishmen who just wanted an opportunity to find work and make a life for themselves.  The Irish weren't trying to change America and get in on social assistance, nor did they threaten to kill anyone who make a snarky remark about St Patrick.

The Irish, Italians and Jews were disliked enough to prompt the strictest immigration policy in US history though. It's hard to predict what would have happened if they had continued to come by the millions. When the immigration laws were eased up in the 60s there was no longer a mass of them wanting to come over. If this had not happened I could very well foresee a much more segregated Irish, Italian and Jewish population than it is now.

Excessive immigration has always been a problem, whoever the immigrants are. In the not too distant past we used to fight real wars over it. Or should I say, immigration in the scale we are seeing now would be seen as a de facto act of war and lead to hostilities on a major scale.

The only thing preventing the same now is social security and wealth enough to pay for it. That too has limits of course, and we should all pray to our God that limit is never reached. For all we know it might be already.
