We are a nation of immigrants, always have been. Saxon, Norman, Viking, Breton, German (The Royals), all have come and been absorbed, even those that came with invasion in mind.
British people have had the same concerns about immigration many times, think of the 60's and the days of the Empire Windrush, but now all those people are as British as the rest of us.
I understand your concerns, but all that has to be done is to stick to our own rule of law, treating anone who comes here fairly while not pandering to their cultural or social whims and sticking to our own values. We should be convincing people to integrate by setting an example, not forcing them to or deriding them for failing to.

****Are you forgetting that they were all White People?
That they all have the same predecessors from ancient times?

The biggest downfall for the late 20th century, and early 21st century is mass immigration. Not just immigration, but the people who come want to change the place they now call home. Whatever their reasons for coming to the countries, I am all for it. But if you try to get political only with one sect, then your headed for trouble.
I'm sure this century, countries will start implementing much harder immigration codes. Sure some countries need immigration to boost up their economy but their people are becoming the minority.
