I fail to see why some immigrants feel the need to try & change our customs, ways & laws, to conform with their native country. Why leave in the first place?
Ah............Benefits, I forgot.

"Benefits" come in many guises - not least natural resources.
As an ex squaddie you'll be only too well aware that England, together with other countries such as France & Germany, in the past saw no harm in seeking to take / taking over countries, exploiting their "benefits" and forcing the natural indigenous inhabitants to conform to their ideals, language and cultural quirks.
What is happing now is merely an extrapolation of that very same process although now that the shoe is on the other foot, for want of a better euphemism, some people are getting overly upset.
