Info slide - Immigrants are Individuals who have moved from their country of origin to settle in a new country. Integration is the process of adopting the language, customs, and social norms of the host country as well as pursuing community ties within the host country. Cultural preservation is the active maintenance of one’s heritage culture, including language, religious practices, customs, and community ties to the country of origin. This House believes that immigrant communities should prioritise integration over cultural preservation
You're asking immigrants to erase themselves. Integration isn't a neutral process—it's assimilation dressed up in polite language. The moment you tell people to prioritise adopting your customs over maintaining theirs, you've already decided their culture is less valuable. Why should a Pakistani family abandon Urdu at home? Why should their children forget their grandmother's recipes? You can integrate *and* preserve—these aren't opposing forces unless you believe belonging requires cultural surrender. What you're really arguing is that host countries get to dictate the terms of acceptance.
