Completely delusional European mentality to think that it is more inclusive than the US. Only a native European would say such a thing. The US is an inclusive haven compared to most of western Europe especially for immigrants and foreigners. Your comment further below about "why not migrate if you don't like germany" encompasses that mentality perfectly well.

Now, you are right in a way that it is a choice to migrate there. My issue is with the weird belief that Europe is more inclusive when it is just false. It's like another manifestation of the quintessentially european inferiority complex that leads to comparisons with a weird, exaggerated caricature of what they think the US is. The truth is that Germany is less inclusive, provides less opportunities and is more xenophobic in almost all regards than America, unless I guess you are a white European migrant.

I believe my question is warranted. If you do experience blatant xenophobia and the opportunities are scarce to none, why endure? I seriously don't understand.

The remainder of you comment is a pretty one sided take. I think the US and EU don't give each other much if you want to migrate from outside the Schengen area.

I'm not a fan of my governments current policy on migration, nor that of the EU, but the truth is, until a large portion of voters dies, I'm limited in what I can do about it.
