Keep in mind the reason Finland "needs" immigration is probably to sustain a diminishing birth replacement rate to undergird their economy. This is the principal argument
for immigration is almost all first-world countries.
The need for the replacement of a population is distinct from a society's desire for an identity, and must be kept so, since they are entirely separate issues. The need for a stable working population does not demand we rescind the progressive aspects of our culture.
