Catholics should promote amongst the non-Europeans people the concept and value of staying in their country and work to create wealth and live like we live (or maybe even better) in their own countries.

Agreed.
There is no basis for multicuturalism in Catholicism unless one wishes to try and twist things and take them out of context, which rather invalidates trying to find a source for them there in the first place.
Catholicism would be better served preserving the distinctiveness of God's diverse peoples and cultures. The problem is with the clergy though, rather than the institution. As usual, one can never get the staff

Maybe they should start equating immigration to a sin!

Wel, it isn't explicitly. The Church can't just start inventing sins as it sees fit (although some modernists think that it can stop something being a sin just because many people these days do it anyway.)
However, I tend to think of multiculturalism as being the reverse of what happened after the Tower of Babel and might therefore be seen as defying the will of God.

Only by having different cultures/races living in their own country, we can, once and for all, kill multi-culturalism and the damage it is causing to the diversity of cultures.

Agreed again. Multiculturalism is rather a misnomer as only a degree of isolation can preserve multiculturalism (the existence of various cultures).
What they actually seek to promote is Monoculturalism. One world nation & one people under the golden arches of McDonald's

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).
The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature
Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.
