Honestly I would argue that western society began to deteriorate prior to the mass influx of foreigners; that it was in fact because of the degradation of social order that the abuses of the system became possible at this scale.
Similarly, in order for social order to heal it must be that society begins to heal before these issues can be resolved, rather than waiting for the sort of heavy handed intervention which spawns communism.
People were ill-prepared for the massive disruptions which information technology has brought to their lives. That's perfectly understandable, yet if we expect to end up in a good place we must actually rise to meet these new challenges.
