Solution

The appropriate word for blank 13 would be "inconspicuous". This word means not clearly visible or attracting attention; not conspicuous, which fits the context of the sentence. The sentence suggests that immigrants should be allowed to stay in areas where there are many other immigrants, thus they would blend in and not stand out, making them "inconspicuous".
