I read your post and I found it worth reading twice. :)
Americans perhaps see the way immigration worked *in the past* in the USA - ghettos
of immigrants who were eager to partake of The American Dream, therefore trying to
assimilate (with older folks' reservations about language/culture/religion being
"lost").
IIUC the immigration into Europe at present is of people who do not particularly
wish to assimilate, just to have the advantage of living in A Better Place than
their homelands.
