Denmark proposed this idea and put it in place last year, Germany is thinking of copying it. I think we should copy it too.

German Politician Calls For Migrants To Sign Integration Contracts
"
Under the proposal put forward by Bundestag member and CDU group vice chair Nadine Schön, who has also campaigned for full homosexual marriage in Germany, migrants would sign a contract upon their arrival in Germany.

In return for the German state promising to “protect and promote” migrants, they would be expected to accept values like sexual equality, learning German, and keeping religion out of the political sphere. Ms. Schön hopes adhering to these three points can promote integration, she said in an interview with German news magazine Der Spiegel.

This is not the first attempt within Germany to suggest migrants be entered into a contract with the state to foster integration. Rhineland-Palatinate presidential hopeful Julia Klöckner suggested a similar scheme at state-level as part of her election campaign, calling for the unemployment benefits of migrants should be cut if they don’t meet the integration rules, reports the Huffington Post Deutschland.

Ms. Klöckner expressed concern that with mass migration without effective integration, the very essence of Germany was under threat. She said: “We are a liberal and free country if we give up the very foundations of our liberality, we wake up somewhere else”.

Germany might take inspiration from Denmark, which has already introduced similar reforms to their own welfare system. Migrants are now forbidden from claiming the same unemployment benefits as born Danes, and instead can take ‘integration benefit’, which is only worth half as much a month.

In return for the payment, migrants have to take Danish lessons – and if they don’t keep up with the learning, their benefits are cut even further. The new system was introduced by Denmark’s centre-right government, voted in to replace the left wing coalition led by Helle Thorning-Schmidt until June this year.

While the restricted payments were initially only applied to migrants who arrived after the election, this was soon extended to all foreigners, no matter how long they had lived in Denmark. To hammer the point home to migrants that they couldn’t expect an easy ride in Denmark, integration minister Inger Støjberg took out adverts in foreign newspapers warning foreigners about the change.

As Bobby Jindal said "Immigration without Assimilation is an Invasion"
 
"You want to be part of America, the be part of America, not a shithole enclave you carve out of America."

Typical of the authoritarianism, arrogance, and nativism common to most on the right, as well as conservatives' unwarranted fear and contempt for diversity, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty.

As long as LPRAs are abiding by the laws of the United States, they can't be compelled through force of law to 'integrate,' such a statute in the United States would clearly be un-Constitutional.

Indeed, current Constitutional jurisprudence already prohibits all persons in the United States from seeking to codify religious dogma into secular law, as well as protecting the rights of women, gay Americans, transgender Americans, and other minorities from discrimination – advocating for a similar policy in the United States would be a 'solution' in search of a 'problem.'

And as for “keeping religion out of the political sphere,” as proposed in the OP, clearly few on the right would agree to apply such a policy equally to both Christians and Muslims.
