This is a slippery slope argument at best and jingoist rhetoric at worst.

It's really not. It takes many generations to assimilate. You cannot just invite a huge influx of people and not expect a major cultural shift.

  • Different people are different. Any change in demographics — such as an increase in wealth inequality or number of smartphones — causes a major cultural shift. What is the evidence that this particular cultural shift is very bad?

  • "major culture shift" != "they will turn your country into the country they fled from".

    Regardless, the culture is that of a nation of immigrants. I don't see how anything here can cause major cultural shift away from that. I am willing to bet you won't be willing to elaborate either, so next goal post move please...
