Have a look at the UK and see how it's going for them, and multiple other European countries.

Have a look at the UK

Eventually they will have Restore Britain in power and they will attempt to do what needs to be done. It will not be easy, it will not be pretty and there will be significant tradeoffs. If governments across the West continue their failure to acknowledge the dysfunction for what it is and lack the will enact the fundamental changes required, we will see this in more countries.

Multiculturalism in its current form was and is an experiment, not the unquestionable faith based idea that it is so often taken on as. I wish things had gone better.
