Immigration isn’t really complicated. Whether it is good or bad depends on whom you get, and in what numbers. The quality of immigrants is an individual matter, but country of origin is highly important, as it determines the culture that immigrants will bring with them. And, as we have seen in America, many immigrants do not adopt our culture, they inflict their culture on us.
Thus, Denmark has had an experience similar to ours:
I'm not "afraid of Somali success".
I am sad that Somali immigrants are so extremely unsuccessful here in Denmark, that they are a net expense for taxpayers of $24,000 on average per Somali immigrant per year.

I’m not “afraid of Somali success”.
I am sad that Somali immigrants are so extremely unsuccessful here in Denmark, that they are a net expense for taxpayers of $24,000 on average per Somali immigrant per year.
Worse than any other immigrant group!
They are also extremely criminal, with a violent crime rate of more than nine times the Danish level.
It’s not just “one Somali that does something”. 62% of them are convicted of a violent crime by the age of 30.
Even in the light of Muslim / African immigration to Denmark which is overall highly unsuccessful, Somalis have an atrocious performance.
Knowing what we know now, I regret being part of the majority that voted for mass Third World immigration here in the U.S. No, wait…
UPDATE: Here are more grim data points, this time from the U.K.:
Just one in ten Somalis in the UK are in full-time employment.
Astonishing.https://t.co/w53kK8T98R pic.twitter.com/67tT6iRSf6

That is a remarkable achievement! By virtue of emigrating to a normal country, 90% of Somalis are able to get by without working full-time. One wonders what that does to official “unemployment” statistics. To be fair, of course, a minority do work part-time:
UK gives social housing and welfare to ~70% of their Somalis. Only about 30% of them are employed. They just live in the UK, housed and supported by the state. pic.twitter.com/sx0q6ESnSc

For the most part, Somalis in the U.K. live entirely off the largesse of the British taxpayer. Nice “work,” I guess, if you can get it.
