Exactly why we need to start that process now.
I'm not saying we should treat all immigrants as terrorists or anything, I'm just saying that we should recognize that a large influx of people who don't share Western values is a danger to western society and we need to think how to handle it instead of just saying "be inclusive" and hoping that nothing bad happens.
And if we want a (silly) tech analogy, this isn't that different from tech companies who grow too quickly and lose their "culture" on the way. You have to have a hiring strategy if you don't want that to happen.
You'll need an ironclad definition of what Western values are and what a western society is and then you'll have to first go after everything that is homegrown that is also against those values. Ironically you'll find a ton of domestic parties that would like nothing better than to destroy their own select set of those.
And then there is the little problem that Western values and society are still so young that they haven't fully formed yet. And to an American it means something completely different than to a Canadian, a Briton, a West European and an Eastern European. And then there is the Nordics, the Baltics and so on. It will have to be a real work of art to make that workable.
To continue the hiring analogy it's better to have a few false negatives in order to avoid a false positive.
Not saying it's straightforward or anything, just that we probably need to put more effort into carving out an immigration policy as well as refining the "onboarding" process of immigrants.
Yes, absolutely but that costs money and nobody is willing to foot the bill. Also in the past such programs have been a feeding frenzy for the people on the supply side but with very little tangible effect.
