Lack of being in, accepting the local culture is much of what gave rise to the term 'ugly Americans', as applied to tourists, at least.
The “Ugly American” also refers to the novel’s unattractive hero, Homer Atkins.
So in another word,
“Ugly” is an ironic play on words, describing an admirable hero who was “unattractive” due to the nature of his work: helping others.
Ugly American
The "Ugly American" of the book title refers to the book's hero, plain-looking engineer Homer Atkins, whose "calloused and grease-blackened hands always reminded him that he was an ugly man." Atkins, who lives with the local people, comes to understand their needs, and offers genuinely useful assistance with small-scale projects such as the development of a simple bicycle-powered water pump
What "rules, institutions and support" does he have in mind? I assume he's talking about rules to forcibly integrate America with unassimilated Muslims and institutions and support to make them like it.
He openly confesses to the unwillingness of Muslims in general to assimilate into western society. Of course, this isn't new news to rational thinking Westerners who understand that the core foundation of Islam rejects such a notion to begin with. This is precisely why many of us have been telling the naive liberals how self destructive it is to welcome in people whose intentions are to reshape western society into Islamic form. That is their OBLIGATION as Muslims!!! That's what Islam requires of Muslims. And that is why Islam is fundamentally INCOMPATIBLE with American society, and consequently, they do not belong here, PERIOD.
This absurd nonsense regarding "islamaphobia" is nothing more than a tactical strategy to facilitate the unarmed invasion of the west by Islam. And this equally nonsensical idea that our United States Constitution requires us to embrace Islam from a religious freedom stance is yet another example of how insane liberal policy really is. The Constitution isn't a suicide pact. In fact, it requires an oath of loyalty to said Constitution by US citizens, which includes defending the Constitution against enemies, foreign AND domestic.
By every measure, including the core principles, and stated objectives of Islam, Islam is an enemy. Islam wants to replace our law (Constitutional Law) with its law (Sharia Law). By definition, Islam cannot be viewed as anything other than an enemy. Period, case closed.

It is a violation of American law to advocate the overthrow of America's government - which is exactly what ISLAM teaches.
If the law was enforced, it would effectively ban Islam, close all Mosques, deport or prosecute Muslims, and prosecute or impeach sympathizers.

Are U Serious, you cant look it up.
assimilation definition. The process by which a person or persons acquire the social and psychological characteristics of a group: “Waves of immigrants have been assimilated into the American culture.†As an example.. In other words, exactly what liberals dont want.
The only thing that you can demand from an immigrant or from any other person is to respect the law.
I am a first generation immigrant. USA is a huge country with more than 300 millions people, thousands of different groups with different cultures. To which group do you want me to assimilate?

well,
if the definition is
the social process of absorbing one cultural group into harmony with another
Why is London's Muslim Mayor campaigning for Hillary Clinton?
Who in the hell does he think he is telling the U.S. what our policy should be toward immigrants? If they don't want to assimilate, they don't want to become Americans, and they should be kicked out. No immigrants should be accepted who do not want to assimilate. As one Muslim put it recently (I forget his name), "When I came to America, I left all that [the old ways] behind me. We don't want to go back to that" (That's a rough quote). He was speaking against Sharia Law in the U.S.
