Of course immigrants should learn the language of their host country. However, you accomplish nothing by refusing to learn their language especially when their is such a vast influx of immigrants.
If you learn their language, you are quite effectively the better person and ahead of your fellow citizens. You give immigrants the ability to integrate through cooperative speech. You can help to fill in the blanks in the language gap, prove that you care about their struggle.
When you refuse to understand anything about these people, you only enforce the idea that their culture and their very lively hoods are meaningless to people outside of their home country (especially in the cases of people seeking refuge), creating divisions between naturalized citizens and newcomers. This in turn creates negative feelings and perceptions, resulting in violent outbursts from either side. By learning their language you earn their respect and their trust setting the scene for a more peaceful assimilation on both sides.
I hope you don't think you're some champion of freedom by choosing to be ignorant, because you are not.

Learning a language doesn't automatically better you. It takes thousands of hours which could be spent more productively. You effectively want the citizens of the most productive nation in the world to spend millions of man hours so they know how to say "please rape my daughters allahu akbar" in a desert nomad tongue
