Why no outrage over all the countries closing their borders to immigrants?
There is a lot of outrage. You hear about it practically every day on the news. Personally, I don't live in Europe so I don't really care about the immigration practices. I'm pretty sure many western Europeans care plenty...
The Europeans have the RIGHT to close their borders to illegal aliens; especially single young dudes whose culture has the rep of starting trouble.
Then it's on their brother Muslim countries to take their kind in, NOT "infidel" Europe. The Middle East has lots of rich Arab countries that need to step up and take care of their own.

Unexpected guests at dinner time means less dessert for everyone. The oil rich Arab countries have enough common sense to understand this. Too bad many Western nations don't.
The US has taken tens of millions of immigrants (legal and illegal) from Mexico. Every time we talk about reducing the flood of illegals, liberals start screaming racism.
But all these European countries have taken just a hand full of immigrants and some of them like Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia are now in the process of closing their borders. And many others are making efforts to slow down the influx.
Yet, not a peep from the liberals. No "nobody is illegal" or "they're just trying to make a better life for themselves" or "think about their children". Why is that?
I guess the US is the only country that can be racist. I guess we'll be expected to pickup the slack for the rest of the world forever because we just have infinite resources.
I don't think foreigners (if they are honest) would say Americans are racists. Foreigners love Americans more than Americans love themselves.
This being said, you can save the world 100 million times if you have the ability, but if you have to sacrifice the well being of your own citizens, then that is a form of betrayal. Know your limit.
A country without border is not a country. Really just some common sense stuff.

I never said they didn't. It's their countries and they have to right to make their own immigration policies. I live in America and the immigration policies in the EU don't concern me.. I don't see why this should even be big news here..

The politics and economies of Europe and the United States are intertwined. They have been for many years. To say that what goes on in Europe is of no concern to Americans is just stupid.

I didn't say that. Your conservative goggles are causing you to see things that aren't there again. My point is that European Union immigration policy isn't very important to Americans. Demographic shifts happen all the time. The US is populated by the descendants of immigrants and we're doing just fine... The US economy is also intertwined with many Asian economies, Middle East economies, etc. We live in an age of a world economy now. There are a lot of inter-dependencies.

It concerns European Americans and as such is big news because, while we live in a multicultural society here, Europe is seen as our homeland and we want it to be preserved for our people perhaps precisely because we don't have that here. In the U.S.A., everyone insists on identity with "their people" but that identity is verboten for European Americans. Fair enough. However, Europe is where our people are actually from and, akin to Israel for the Jewish people, we would like to see Europe's identity preserved for posterity. There is nothing wrong with that. Everyone deserves a homeland, and most European migrants have a homeland in addition to wanting to live in Europe. That's a bad deal for Europe.
Again, why should I care about what the EU does. Tell me.
I have no unbreakable ties to the EU, nor do I have any family history or ancestry there.
So why should their immigration policies bother me?
We shouldn't. We know that Europe is great at telling other nations what they SHOULD do, yet when it comes to their own countries most do the opposite.

American liberals have supported Germany's decision to take in refugees, as well as attempted to expand the number of Syrian refugees taken into the U.S.
In order for you to claim "not a peep from the liberals", I can only assume you haven't been paying attention.
