Western Muslims should do umrah every year to resist the qurb(proximity) of 21st century neo-Sodom. His holiness Tawus bin Kaisan of Yemen, may God bless him with mercy, did Hajj forty times. And they can afford it more than non-western Muslims.

Hijrah and Aliyah
Ummah/spiritual community needs hijrah/aliyah out of melting pots of zina/adultery.{ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
