If you leave a place for a reason but don’t assimilate and adopt the host customs, then you’re just bringing your problems with you. Unfortunately that’s a good 50% of the cognitive dissonance around immigration. The other 50% is just racism / ethnocentrism.

He wasn’t deported, he was given a three month suspended sentence and ordered to receive drug and alcohol treatment after pleading guilty and apologizing. [Source](https://www.brusselstimes.com/1697572/man-receives-conditional-jail-sentence-for-lighting-cigarette-with-eternal-flame-in-paris).
