In headier days, Europe's leaders dreamed of a multicultural continent, its aging cities saved by millions of new migrants eager to join a stable, prosperous urbanity.
Unlike the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, modern Europe never produced melting pot societies.
As a recent OECD study notes, immigrants in Europe have a harder time with socioeconomic assimilation than those coming to the U.S. This is particularly true for Muslim immigrants, who are employed at lower rates in Europe than in America, according to R Street and the Cato Institute.
Earlier migrant waves arrived in Europe when the continent felt confident about its culture.
Despite the much smaller Jewish footprint, anti-Semitism in Europe is intensifying.
The Hungarian government maintains close ties to Israel-a rarity in Europe.
For residents of those countries, even a dangerous escape to Europe seems worth the risk.
