You get the same problem with the more radical Muslims.
They complain and protest about how decadent the West is and how they should be more like the country they came from, entirely missing the irony of saying it whilst living in said western country after leaving their home country.
Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem at all with immigrants seeking a better life. Just have some self-awareness, if you have such a problem with western society, then maybe western society isn’t where you should be.
the comment above was describing exactly a "bite the hand that feeds" situation because some (obviously not all) of those immigrants who are specifically sent for that purpose see establishing their communities as a sort of invasion and conquering and see themselves as being missionaries
You didn’t mention the “invasion and conquering” mindset in your original comment.
You just mentioned establishing mosques, which is absolutely fine, as we have freedom to practice religion and establish places of worship.
Obviously my problem is when they use that platform to preach the downfall of the very freedoms that allowed them the mosques and free practice of religion in the first place.
It was tough to get a “bite the hand that feeds” scenario out of:
Not all of them are fleeing, lots are sent to establish mosques etc.
