Many of those who migrate form the majority population in their country of origin. For those who come from very diverse places, maybe they should fix the diversity-related problems where they come from rather than creating colonies of them in Europe.

So do they have no ethnic group, are they "problems we can't deal with", should they make their own ethnic group and be provided a breeding ground to call their own nation? And how much trouble do they cause anyway?
They'll have to figure out themselves whether they want to do something about it or not; I don't see how this is relates the topic at hand.

And it's causing a lot of problems because it's a big deal for many.
I doubt that; unless, of course, you include the immigrants themselves.

Statistically, the ethnic groups also commit the most murders within their own ethnic group, which begs the question why other groups are so concerned.
That is a rather narrow perspective. If you could choose between one neighbourhood of your city being full of crime and none at all, you'd presumably choose the latter. Crime can spread; and, of course, if you've lived most of your life in a calm city or neighbourhood, you don't want to risk seeing crime engulf you, and 'force' you to move.

an artificially created divide that is usually created along different lines in more homogeneous societies as well
Like?

I prefer the Western approach of correcting the wrong behavior instead of treating it as an unchangeable truism that we have to work around somehow.
You have shown the desire to change it, but not the ability. I would prefer if I didn't have to bother with keys and passwords, but I do not possess the means to bring the necessary change about.


Now I wonder how the Catholics from Italy and the Protestants from Sweden integrated so fast in the US, because they're quite distinct...
It couldn't possibly have something to do with the difference between being forced to accept a different government due to having been conquered by force and willingly going somewhere with a different government?
You can note the actual differences between past migration from Europe to the US and current migration to Europe. Unless I am missing something, the Catholic Italian migrants to the US did not intentionally mow down pedestrians or the like. That implies there is a difference somewhere, whatever its exact nature. It could be modernity that is the issue, it could be Islam itself, it could be certain immigrant cultures themselves that don't fit in as well here, it could be the amount of immigration relative to native population size - or a combination of many different factors. But something, whatever it is, seems different, and that makes the comparison between past immigration to the US and the current migration to Europe not seem that relevant.

One simple solution is that the European cultures where closer and/or more compatible than you give them credit for.
