>  You just have to look at countries like Sweden and France to see this.

Well, I can't talk for Sweden but France has been an immigration land for a 
couple of milleniums, so it's not like the phenomenon is new, let alone 
worth worrying about in the long term. 20% of the population (including our 
hungarian/greek/jewish president) has at least a foreign grandparent. The 
French even managed to absorb the Vikings
http://www.viking.no/e/france/chronology.html, who were possibly the most 
annoying kind of unwanted, violent-prone immigrant ever. They sure raised a 
lot of hell, until they married local women of course.

In fact, every population who was said at one time to be unable or unwilling 
to "integrate into the hosting culture" did so eventually. Italian 
immigrants, from the 19th century up to the mid 20th, were the subject of 
considerable debate and hostility, including mass murder. Who cares now? 
Immigrants arrive, life is a bitch for everyone for a few generations, good 
old sex ends up erasing the cultural hang-ups and finally (figurative) 
heterosis takes over.

So, if you are worried about immigration where you live, marry an immigrant, 
that should do wonders :D
