 The lines where one culture begins and another end are pretty blurry 

Like are Jews and Christians different cultures that don't mix?

How about American conservatives and woke pink hair communists, both of English descent?

Hip hop artists and skateboarders? 

To me I think it comes down to just respecting a common law, whether that is religion or state, some kind of common thread - which I would have hoped would be individual liberty but not many believe this these days

 Your heritage, religion, culture, peers and genetics determine what laws and norms you do follow and abide by, and which you do not.

Individual liberty is not common in >95% of the world, and importing people on mass without such a cultural basis is CLEARLY a recipe for disaster.

I just posted a video (my latest note)
Please take a couple minutes out to watch it - and notice how futile such policies are. Then look at how potentially dangerous their outcomes are - followed by thinking about whether or not this is a worthwhile exercise
