What if instead of immigration the government decides to raise the orphan children from other countries? That wouldn't harm the culture I hope.

Children need families, not institutions to raise them, so the same incentives would really be needed for this kind of program as any other.
There aren't many such children, and it's complicated to get them in an ethical way.
True. I didn't consider the scale. I was talking in a totally hypothetical sense.
Orphan children already have enough problems, and don't need to be raised in a culture totally foreign to them
