> Harsh enforcement degrades that trust and creates insularity.
Indeed. It increases the risk associated with being part of that society. I don't know what the correct answer is.
> Countries want the economic benefits of immigrants without the necessary investment in immigrant communities.
Many immigrants also want the benefits of living in a developed country with a high quality of life without fully integrating into the society that made it possible in the first place.
> Every person understands theft and the effects it has.
Yes, but the rules and consequences for violating them are not universal. Depending on where they come from, violence may be an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. In some circles, people are immediately held accountable for their actions. In other circles, they might be quietly excluded from a group.
> This notion that the immigrant or their community is somehow inherently lesser or more tolerant or capable of anti-social behavior is textbook xenophobia.
Not all immigrants will be like this but it is a mistake to simply ignore their background. Every immigrant has the potential to naturalize but it is also important to think about what could happen should they fail to integrate.
