No, since America is a cesspool now and Europeans have no interest in coming here.
I agree, especially western Europe. The "America-envy" that existed during the first half of the twentieth century is no more. If anything, western Europe laughs at the US and they are significantly more progressive. Poverty and religious repression that defined so many European countries in the past are no longer problems. There are no reasons for most Europeans to desire to come to America.
Other parts of the world, like Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa however do have people who want to come to America for better opportunity.
Uncontrolled invasion of the 3rd world into Europe...could it cause people to want to come to America?
The United States is and will continue to be far more ethnically and racially diverse than any major European country will be in the foreseeable future. Although there are a lot of all-white areas of the United States, I find it much more likely that people who don't want to live among foreigners, don't like racial or ethnic diversity*, or experience a lower quality of life than they would in an ethnically homogeneous area, would flee to the exurbs and countryside of their own countries rather than emigrate abroad. I actually would be surprised if that didn't happen in much of Europe myself, since we can already see that pattern today on a smaller scale. It's worth noting that European countries will be more American in certain ways in this scenario, considering that this same phenomenon has been a feature of American life for centuries**. The so-called no-go zones (which are vastly exaggerated in number in any case) are comical to me, since places where police don't go into unless they have to have been such fixtures of American urban life that most Americans don't even notice.
*I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that - different strokes for different folks after all, and I believe geographic diversity is as important as racial diversity. If everywhere has the same racial and ethnic composition then that's not as diverse as different regions having different people living in them.
**The first railroad suburbs in mid 19th century New York were predominately WASP hangouts that were concomitant with the white ethnics demographically taking over the city. Arguably the flight of more free-minded citizens away from Massachusetts to found the colony of Rhode Island would also qualify, and that was in the 17th century.

I highly doubt it.
Europeans, as a rule, are not the slightest bit interested in moving to a country with no universal healthcare, easy access to guns and a high rate of gun violence, a workaholic culture with a measly 2 weeks per year of standard vacation time, and an idiot for a national leader.
America? Europeans in their heart they love the US, but openly admitting is something different as it is better to act you hate it and come here with an empty suitcase and stock up as it is over here so much cheaper!

There are plenty of idiot leaders in Europe, we certainly do not have the market cornered on that. Their socialist perks days are numbered, every million unskilled refugees who enter the mix bring its death closer and closer. The refugees don't care about what Europeans do, they care about religion and religion only.
What first-world European would want to come to a second-world plutocracy like the US? They would probably prefer to go to Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
