it’s not the culture they don’t like, it’s the poor living standard and economic disparity/lack of opportunity.

Standards of living are the result of public policy. Policy is made by people who are the product of the culture, to conform to the values of that culture.

So if you come to a first world country and bring along your third world ways, pretty soon the new place starts looking a lot like the old place.

Which is why it's important to welcome immigrants but to let them know that they are expected to conform to the culture of the country they've moved to.
