I definitely want immigrants to integrate in our society (and am prepared to do this when I travel into another country). But I would not expect anyone to assimilate - which to my understanding means giving up their previous culture and take on the culture of the host country.

Yes, I used the word interchangeably, but I could see how assimilate could be construed in the fashion you mentioned.
