I don't think anyone is trying to stop 'congregating' from happening. It's only human nature to stick with what's familiar when you find yourself in an alien context, and given the hostility towards immigrants that has been shown in this country in the past you can hardly blame them.

But, if you follow through a commitment to reduce the overall number of people coming in, inevitably there will be fewer people ariving even in those areas where there are large immigrant communities.
