Which is ok. It's ok to look down the nose at someone else's culture or way of life. Where it becomes a problem for the US is when we tell them they have to do it "our" way. Because there isn't supposed to be an "our" way.
It made the news.
on the bolded: Yes we do tell them that when they come to our country they need to abide by our societal rules. This is why it's all about assimilation.

It's not too much to ask that when you come here you respect women, don't abuse them or your children. Part of going to a new place is giving up part of your cultural norms that do not fit.
This is also why it's Dangerous to be moving refugees off their continents. Have a hard time believing Asia has no room for these refugees.
Our way = western civilization
