It’s the reverse, the burden is definitive and ever growing. A large group of immigrants allow them to keep themselves in a cultural bubble, build a parallel economy (and society, actually), occupy some part of cities and setup political parties.

So you emigrated to another country because people were immigrating to your country and immigration is bad? Is this sarcasm?

Seems to me that they immigrated to another country because of a specific type of cultural phenomenon that was happening in their country of origin resulting from immigration. Maybe the same type of phenomenon is not happening in their country of choice? Doesn't seem sarcastic at all.

Sure. The thread is about how immigration is beneficial to countries in long term.
It was the OP who came up with the example of France to say that is not true.
> It’s the reverse, the burden is definitive and ever growing.
So there are two possibilities
* The French example is one of the very few exceptions -> This means the point OP is trying to make is kind of useless. Exceptions are present in almost all the theories.
* French example is what will happen in all most all the countries -> In that case OP's point becomes just ironic.
