Gee, I wonder how I arrived at that leap in logic? (sarcasm) That is what is happening in Europe under the pretext of human rights. It is happening to a much lesser extent in the United States, and we have a president who is trying to stop it until we can vet refugees to find out who they are so that we aren't letting Al Qaeda and ISIS sympathizers, rapists, etc. into our country.
However, "human rights" is facing some debate: Merkel's Human Rights Speaker Resigns Over Refugee Policy
Germany’s Angela Merkel struggles with Islamic refugees
Of course, burqa bans aren't about assimilation. That's just the cover story. Burqas defeat face-recognition systems. So the surveillance state wants them banned for that reason.

A year ago, she was the leading voice in Europe lecturing her constituents about the moral obligation to take in hundreds of thousands of mostly Muslim refugees fleeing from Syria and other global crisis spots.

A series of violent attacks that garnered headlines across the country have fueled the fear. The turning point for many was over New Year’s Eve, when groups of men believed to be Muslim immigrants sexually assaulted hundreds of women at Cologne’s main train station.
Germany had not experienced the kind of jihadi violence that resulted in spectacular attacks in countries such as Britain, Spain and France, but that changed this year as well. During the summer, a suicide bomber struck outside a wine bar in southern Germany, injuring 12 people. A series of other violent attacks involving refugees with weapons and knives sparked growing public anger about unruly refugees and the inability of German social service organizations to handle the crush.
For some, including the AfD, the events served to confirm that Islam posed a threat to German political ideals and the rule of law.
