You're right. There's no advantages and only disadvantages that come with drastically different cultures living together. Successful immigrants in the US all have one thing in common: they embrace American culture.
Integrating would be a better word but yes, adjusting to the country you move to is highly advisable. Not even knowing how too communicate is really bad.
This simply isn’t true. New York City has a lot of successful immigrants from several different countries that haven’t particularly embraced American culture, or each others’ cultures. Dearborn, Michigan has a thriving Muslim community that it would be a stretch to say they’ve ‘embraced American culture.’ Chicago has a lot of successful immigrants. Florida, Texas, and California do too.
Successful immigrants do have one thing in common: they go somewhere where white people are open minded, they don’t expect immigrants to ‘assimilate’ and open their arms to different cultures and ideas.
I think Elon Musk, an immigrant to American from South Africa, sums it up quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFYnEYkWljI
American culture is one of self-made success, freedom of speech, of religion and liberty. Using Dearborn, Michigan as some sort of example of success is hilariously wrong. Unless of course you're an advocate of Sharia law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QC_qEyl0Q
Sharia law btw, isn't quite compatible with Western values. Islam has no freedom of religion, freedom of speech against Islam is not tolerated, and women are not treated as equals, but as subhumans.
Why is it wrong to think you should know english if you live in America?

I honestly don't want people coming here who don't care to assimilate!
