That's a stretch... those welfare states aren't that universal and realistically most people in such situations would be barely above subsistence level.
But yeah, Europe generally gets people who can't get into US with all the outcomes of that.
- Seanambers 2y agoWell yeah, I should've stated Western Europe more with regards to the welfare state, - Central/Eastern Europe hasn't been that enthusiastic about MENA immigration and they don't have that level of social security nets. Also even the illegal immigrants that come to the US is easier to integrate than the immigrants from MENA in Europe. Culturally they are much closer, even though there has been a influx of illegal immigrants from other places than Americas last couple of years. This is a very deep difference in immigration in EU vs US that is quite foreign to many Americans.
