"People all over the world flee third world countries and flood into first world nations, abandoning their cultures and ways of life, because they want a higher standard of living."

This is not an accurate description of reality. I don't know how it is in the US, but certainly in Europe, the people from third world countries in large part do not "abandon their cultures and ways of life" when they come here. They actively preserve these (and are encouraged to do so by the prevailing narrative and policies of "multiculturalism"), in part alongside- but often also in opposition to the prevailing host culture. This is the whole point of multiculturalism. As a result there are immense problems with integration, especially with people from Muslim countries and particular third world countries like Eritrea. There are basically parallel societies, there is very little intermarrying (again, especially between Muslim immigrant populations and non-Muslim native populations) and little shared cultural life. There is a lot of direct influence on immigrant populations from the nations of origin as well (for example, Turkish mosques in my country are directly coordinated by the Turkish ministry of religion, Diyanet). In addition, tribal conflicts are imported to European streets, as was exemplified by a mass riot between two groups of Eritreans in The Hague a few days ago. And let's not forget the mass "pro-Palestine" (or pro-Hamas, if you will) demonstrations in major Western cities.
