Canada is a great example of how multiculturalism works very well, even with large numbers of immigrants. The argument of assimilate or war is so broken I can hardly entertain it.
If all the immigrants in America were just as educated as the Americans already there, then they'd get the better jobs and then we'd be complaining that all the educated white folk are flipping burgers because Mohammed is willing to work for half the money, yeah? Then you'd also have a different problem with a significant portion of the working class of America sending it's income to support family members back home, who don't meet the requirements to enter, and so American currency deflates to garbage and the cost of everything goes up, a lot.
And who would be committing the crimes?
America needs it's relatively poor immigrants for it's power, just as it needed slaves, and as it needed "free" land.

The number of immigrants in Canada is minute when compared to that of the US. The number of illegal immigrants residing in America is more than 18 million, or more than half the total population of Canada. If you add first generation legal immigrants, the number far exceeds the total population of Canada. Even on a general percentage of population, the number of immigrants in America is roughly triple that of Canada.
Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK stated flatly that "multiculturalism has failed".
President Nicolas Sarkozy of France stated flatly that "multiculturalism has failed".
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany stated more than flatly that "multiculturalism has utterly failed".
The problem with multiculturalism is the quality of the cultures being introduced. In some cultures, beating or killing your wife or daughter is perfectly acceptable. Should this type of culture be acceptable in America or Europe? Some cultures disdain education, and the high school drop out rate in America from these cultures is more than 50%. Should this kind of culture become the norm in America or Europe?
I worked in law enforcement for 10 years, the number of immigrants arrested and imprisoned in America is highly disproportionate. Although recent immigrants to America make up about 5% of the population, they are responsible for roughly 15% of of murders committed in the country. In terms of all forms of crime, the number is 20%, meaning that immigrants are 3 to 4 times more likely to commit crimes than non-immigrants. Though recent immigrants make up only 5% of the US population, they represent 27% of all criminals incarcerated in the federal prison system.
