Should immigrants adapt to the host country or should countries adapt to them?

Both. That's the idea of the "The Melting Pot" analogy.

For instance...

You eat pizza?
Thank Italian immigrants bringing their culture here to influence American culture.

Children of Italian immigrants such as Joe DiMaggio (Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio) and his brothers Dom and Vince who all became MLB players?
Thank assimilation to America.

Immigrant needs to learn the local language and culture. For example jews fled from Europe. They continued to reject jesus but learnt English! They didn't complain "christian should dress like orthodox married lady"! Obviously! But some migrants are different than jews.

They must adapt to the host country. It makes no sense for immigrants to pay so much and come to a country only to not accept it for what it is.

The key rule is to live and let live.

Immigrants should adapt to the country they move to.

They must adapt, quickly.

In the UK, we have pandered to them. And it has been an absolute disaster. The worst manifestation was the rape gangs.

Legal Emigrants should assimilate and learn conversational English by the last day of their non-extended visa. They should get one extension if the appeal is granted. We don't benefit from diversity. We benefit from unity.

They should adapt and if they don't want to then go back home if it's so great there.

[NathanDavis]

best of both worlds.. . as it always has been

[exitseven]

if they cannot adapt they should be denied citizenship. America has had it's own culture for 250 years. We do not need another.

Roughly 1/3 of Australians were born overseas and 1/2 have a parent who was born overseas. There needs to be give and take on both sides.

[FunkyMonkee]

Immigrants should adapt.

[KostasKouvalis]

The first one of course

[Mike_Hum]

Adapt to the host country.

[888theGreat]

they should adapt

[msc545]

Both actually.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We can do both
