No that’s fundamentally different now. It just is. The immigrants coming now come from cultures vastly different from the cultures in the West. They look very different so racism plays a role. But ultimately yeah if the newcomers have nothing or very little in common and genuinely don’t believe in the values of T he blew country well I don’t know

Europe has a long history of population migration and cultural mixing. Some instances worked out relatively alright... many did not... just like the rest of the world.
The US is not a country of immigrants. Historically the vast majority of Americans were born Americans. We are approaching the peak levels of foreign born in the late 19th century, about 15%.

But if a culture wants to create something fundamentally different than what my culture here is, why should that be respected? I don’t want women to never work and be on welfare bc their religion forbids them from leaving the house without a man and they have children they can’t afford (see Muslim population in Denmark as one example).
It's a bit different in Germany. Germans are heavily encouraged to have immigrants live with them in their households. The government will pay for you to house Ukrainians but even so, they exist together in a way that doesn't happen here in the US. When they took a bunch of Syrian and Afghan migrants, they plopped them by handfuls into little German villages, etc. The idea was full integration. It hasn't really "taken." I have a weird penchant for talking to new immigrants in Germany about their experiences and every one of them has mentioned that Germany is difficult to assimilate into and that they want to go home. Even Germans that work in the social system to help immigrants express disdain for their cultures-- Americans have a lot to work on, but we generally believe that cultures should be respected. That isn't a super European viewpoint.
