I strongly disagree with the last assertion. There is a good solution, but it is hard and takes a long time.
We act like "western ideas" aren't actually better and won't affect people exposed to them. Maybe they aren't better if by "western ideas" we mean something other than authentic Catholic Christianity.
But I have hope, because Catholicism is true and while truth will make a long slow triumph, it will triumph. Europe may eventually be all ethnic Africans, Arabians, and Asians, but they will be Catholic.

They are becoming Catholic _without_ moving to Europe. Europe is a continent that they missionize, not the other way around.
But that doesn't mean that the Catholics are the ones moving here. The people who kill Catholics over there, are the ones most eager to move here.
Yes, I know. Like I said, it is a hard solution. It requires that we live missionary lives in our own communities and maybe die as martyrs in them. But there are signs that immigrants are noticing and are converting. Not large numbers now, but the truth is always a small seed growing against a tide of evil.
