How should immigrants act in their new country?

[Frigga]

How should immigrants act in their new country? Should they cut all cultural ties and nationalist ties from their mother in favor of the new homeland? And adopt the cultural identity of the new land instead? Or, should they continue the traditions of their ancesters as it is such a part of their identity, as it is all they know? And in that train of thought, they're possibly thinking, should they trust their new neighbors, as they know nothing of their character? What other thoughts do you have?

I'll make this brief:

How should immigrants act in their new country?

Learn the language and the customs (they don't have to adopt all the customs of the host population, but they do have to familiarise themselves with them and respect them), and make themselves useful -- get jobs or start businesses, whatever allows them to support themselves and to contribute to the economy.

Should they cut all cultural ties and nationalist ties from their mother in favor of the new homeland?

Of course not. That would be an entirely unreasonable demand -- and one that would not have any chance of being satisfactorily met anyway.

And adopt the cultural identity of the new land instead?

Again, not something that could realistically be expected to happen. With the immigrants' kids, maybe.

Or, should they continue the traditions of their ancesters as it is such a part of their identity, as it is all they know?

Why not, as long said traditions are not offensive to the host population. Infant genital mutilation and "honor" killings being examples.

And in that train of thought, they're possibly thinking, should they trust their new neighbors, as they know nothing of their character?

Are you asking if we should be concerned that immigrants might not trust us? Well, no-one is ever forced to immigrate into Europe, and no-one who has done so and decided they don't like here is ever prevented from leaving.

What other thoughts do you have?

Only that the best way to prevent the problems and potential conflicts you described would be just to end mass immigration, and in general have people stay where they are.

I think the idea that all people of an ethnicity or a nationality (should) behave similarly is a bad idea in the first place.

How should immigrants act in their new country?

With nothing but respect for the country that now homes and feeds them.

Should they cut all cultural ties and nationalist ties from their mother in favor of the new homeland?

Depends on how long they are going to stay. If they wish to settle here and become long term members, then they should damn well become very literate in everything which is English. Reject their cultures and customs and become little Englanders.

How should immigrants act in their new country?

Admitting and respecting their inferior position in front of the old native breed and culture of their new country.

I'm not talking only about respect to the natives, I'm talking about submission.

Or, should they continue the traditions of their ancesters as it is such a part of their identity, as it is all they know?

Absolutely. Because when the storm of history passes, they will have a homeland to return to. At the very worst, not them, but their children. Or grandchildren...
Until then, learn the language of the hosts and behave like good guests, but don't allow assimilation.

Now, if for some very special reason, they'd want to leave their country behind forever, they should first be racially similar/compatible with the host nation, able to take root in the new folk community. That the contary just doesn't work has a tragical evidence playing its charade before our very eyes.
If you pass that, a complete and unconditional assimilation is necessery, getting to know everything about the new land as extensively as possible.

[Cato]

Assimilate.
Obey the law.
Don't bother other citizens.

[Baron Samedi]

Obey the laws of the land, and still retain your cultural practices without pushing them on others.

As we should do ourselves.

They should show respect to the natives.
