I am not going to comment on illegal immigration, I believe each country has the right to protect itself and its boarder.
But regarding the "legal immigrants" I wonder why it is a problem if they bring their country with them?
I mean USA enforce its culture on the world more than any other country else, whether it is through business, media, social media, movies etc. I find very few Americans deciding to not "bring their country" when they live out of the states. Sometimes they go as far as challenging the culture and laws just because they feel protected by their passport.
If they obey the law, pay their taxes and do their job well, I don't see why they can't be who they are, even if it isn't American.
