Frankly? I think both do it.
If you try too hard to assimilate people into one culture, they tend to either not come at all, or, they build their own cultural islands and ghettos.
If you don't try at all and have a multicultural free-for-all, then you have people craving some sort of societal involvement, so they build their own cultural islands and ghettos. Or, they try to change the existing framework to suit them, which offends other groups, once again leading to cultural islands.
