I don't think we are talking about the same thing. I am not talking about government rules. I am talking about individuals in their own towns being forced BY the government to accept forced association of people who don't keep the local values.
"More importantly, how do you plan to enforce this?"
This is Goverment, top down thinking.
My town already enforces this. We don't listen to rules imposed by the state. We make people who don't assimilate feel unwanted and they take the hint.

We could show them with kindness that the way we do things here is why it was nice enough for them to want to come here in the first place.
Or we could just treat everyone like shit for being a little different.
Making them feel unwanted is a surefire way to make sure they stay isolated doing things the old way rather than assimilating.
I never said I wanted any rules for or against at any level. My position on immigration is that if we stopped economically exploiting the global south they wouldn't feel the need to leave in mass and come here.
Bitcoin is how we stop exploiting the south. Its not really "us" that's doing it - its our corporations, which are transnational and above our laws. When money is a store of value, stocks aren't a store of value, and that whole edifice of extraction collapses. We don't even have to get rid of corporations, just fix the money, and human rights will come back.
People say "bitcoin fixes this" about a lot of things and typically I disagree. The horrors of government were quite real on the gold standard, see slavery and the Indian wars in America as examples.
We need to stop thinking we've already won and understand that Bitcoin is just 1 tool that can help us if we use it correctly.
By counter point if a government went full Bitcoin while people across the globe ignored it, they could amass resources to commit horrors on a whole new level never seen before.
TLDR, Bitcoin is an economic weapon. Weapons don't pick sides. They help whoever uses them most effectively.
