That example doesn't quite work because there are no home owners. They are just guests that have been there longer. They came the dinner party and had to get settled into the proper etiquette, and then after they have been there a while a new group comes to the dinner party and now needs to settle in and learn the etiquette, and the cycle continues.
How can we say this place is OURS when we(our families) immigrated here at some point. Do you not think they resisted the change? We (our families) were all foreigners once.

How would it go if you and me were to set up camp in Iran do you think they would be very accommodating ?

We obviously know Iran has problems, and so do their people. That's why many are leaving. So why should we compare the USA or other western nations to Iran? Don't we want to be more civilized and treat others better (I know that is very biased)?
The immigrants will settle in and assimilate. It just takes time. It blows over eventually, it always does. There are rare examples of people who stay in China town for generations, but generally they move out and assimilate.
A local/state/federal law is the law. Everyone has to follow them. Immigrants end up figuring that out. Again, there might be some that might resist (such as a black market for things like Shark Fin soup or other things that are prized in one country but illegal here), but the majority will conform to the laws. This isnt knew.
And I'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying that there is no need to panic or overreact. Immigration happens and sometimes it comes in big waves.
