Let's have a look on some examples of peaceful immigration. Between 1880 and 1900 there was a significant movement of Jews from Eastern Europe to Ottoman Syria and the United States. Between 1840 and 1900, a large number of Germans emigrated to the United States. Today there are approximately 50,000,000 German-Americans. In 1820 a large number of Irish migrated to the United States for purely economic reasons, well before the Famine. A second wave of Irish immigration happened during the Great Irish Famine in 1845. Today more than 35,000,000 Americans trace their ancestry to Ireland. As far as we can see, there was no big fuss about these waves of immigration.
