If a society does not include within its social, political and economic structures the cultures of new immigrants then it will eventually wither away, first demographically and then politically. As a result these same societies are required to develop a high degree of tolerance of different cultures, languages and religions within its own order. A lack of tolerance leads to intolerance and then exclusion of people that don't meet the social norms of a given society.
