Yeah the majority of countries where people are emigrating from are FAR more conservative and xenophobic than Western countries. If you come from Afghanistan into America then yeah you're going to have crazily different beliefs from the average American, that is like, THE biggest con regarding immigration and is why conservatives don't like relaxed immigration (excluding the racists obviously).
