I don’t understand the problem with importing people and allowing them to keep their culture and language because it’s beautiful. What is the problem? (Page 2)

It's not a problem with multiculturalism. It's a problem with White immigrant fragility.
African nations, Middle Eastern and the Eastern nations don't mind immigrants to the extent the USA does. Despite the USA being 98% a nation born of immigrants with no history past 200 odd years.
Hence it's nothing but insecurity and shame, these people just deflect with their xenophobia.
I don't have a problem with them keeping their culture, or bringing their foods, entertainment, language, etc. The problem starts when they think that I should learn THEIR culture and LANGUAGE to the point where I'm fluent in it, just because they won't learn mine. In the end, you're the newcomer. I'm not going to learn Mung just because you're here in the USA. Learn English, because that's what we speak.
The USA isn't multicultural though, that's literally a political strategy by the Democrat party. Americans tend to vote more Right, so the Democrats decided their strategy would be to import a new Leftist population to replace actual Americans, since Americans won't give them enough power.
Imagine moving to another country and wearing an American flag as a cape, decorating your mailbox with an American flag, and flying an American flag in front of your house?
People are free to celebrate their ancestry. However taxpayers should not be expected to provide translators and bi-lingual education. They need to learn English.
That has nothing to do with taking anything from them. It's just a sign of not wanting to GIVE to them, since if you're going to move to another country, it's reasonable to expect that you'll have at least a minimal level of proficiency with the language BEFORE you do that.
Dude, racism is a weird belief system. And there isn't a single racist who can explain it in a way that folks who possess common sense can understand it.
Remove all ''imported'' cultural details - WHAT would be left? Bison, Beaver, and some nomadic hunters.

Just look at France, it's practically an Islamic Caliphate and the original culture is suppressed and dying. Replacement immigration is just a stopgap for the failure of our work till you drop economic system.
They should know the language of the country they migrate to, and respect the laws of the land. However, they shouldn't have to erase their culture/language in order to achieve that.

We have progressed a great deal since people migrated from places to places, so I am all for it and happy that it is the way it is.

It could work out though. You can find places where this could work out
I would be more subtle about keeping my American stuff personally

How does making people learn English take anything away from them?
People expect them to know English immediately after arriving not knowing the poverty and lack of opportunities they had back home.
That has nothing to do with taking anything from them. It's just a sign of not wanting to GIVE to them, since if you're going to move to another country, it's reasonable to expect that you'll have at least a minimal level of proficiency with the language BEFORE you do that.

It's not going to be multi cultured anymore.. it's going to be Spanish cultured very soon if we don't get that border under control

The others are xenophobes. Simple as that.
Immigration has limits. People can speak whichever language they wish at home. But they should speak the language of the country at large.
so Usa hate china but gave chinese people a city in the US?
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
You don't need to "import people" for that.
keep their culture and assimilate
It ruins social cohesion and social mobility.
