The OP has an idealized picture of an EU that does not exist.

It is also not true that immigrants in American become Americans and forget their roots.

So the entire premise is just nonsense.

I actually typed a response but this is in the realm of Brother Grimm.

The younger generation of immigrants in Finland have intergrated themselves completely to western society even people from Somalia. Middle easternes are hard workers and open up their restaurants at 10:30 in the noon and work until 22:00. The Turks and people from Kosovo have opened restaurants in my hometown and I can only admire their work ethic.

We haven't followed Swedens model where immigrants are isolated in rough areas like Tensta, Hjulsta, Rinkeby, Kista Akalla, Fittja, Rågsved in Stockholm or Rosengård in Malmö and Hammarby in Gothenburg.

When we visited Auschwitz-Birkenau we didn't see a single immigrant, not at the bus station in central Krakow not even at the Kraków John Paul II International Airport. Someone had painted a Swastika at a building wall adjacent to the hotel. Swastika tags are very rare here in the Nordic countries.

They do not wear purple shirts with "immigrant". They were there.

Language barrier.. English being official language helps tremendously with immigrant integration. US also has mastered the art of immigration where they strike the right balance between educated people (who start contributing to economy right away) and low skilled workers (who perform tasks locals aren’t willing to).

There, you see? That's why it's working out better in Finland. Still, it must be difficult to open a restaurant. It's not something one can do upon arrival, or even within a year or two of arriving. One needs enough capital for the business to survive while it's building a customer base. Where do they get the capital?

There is no official language in the US.

How do low skilled workers immigrate to the US?
