Will the US see an uptick in European/Caucasian Immigration?
This was inspired by the tread "Will Asian American immigration (like Hispanics did in the 2000s) peak/slow soon?"
Europe was the main sources of immigration up until the mid 20th Century but has continued to decline since then.
Western Europe:
Overall has a much higher standing of living than the US. There is some right wing hysteria about Europe collapsing in the future but still the US is less of a desirable location to immigrate to except for a handful of wealthy people who want to avoid the higher taxes.
Eastern Europe/Russia:
The overall quality of life has increased in those places and immigration has declined since the modest wave after the fall of Communism.
Armenia:
Unstable situation, even though the conflict has simmered down.
Israel:
Israel has a fairly high quality of life but that region is unpredictable.
South Africa:
A lot of Whites are looking to leave but Australia seems to be the main destination of choice.
Canada:
Overall higher quality of life but Canada is actually one of the largest sources of White immigration to the US.
Latin America:
Mostly tied to political upheaval where the White elites leave after leftist uprisings. Was the case in Cuba after the Communist revolution. In the recent case with Venezuela a handful have gone to Miami but most have gone to other Latin American Countries such as Brazil and Chile.
The Middle East is parts of Central Asia and parts of South Asia are counted as White as well. I also added Armenia.
"Beside the rise of racism, the one party ANC regime in South Africa has failed to maintain a cohesive and tolerant nation and there are concerns that the nation is on the brink of civil war. With the potential for a humanitarian catastrophe, there has been a massive interest in people looking to leave and the US must look into fast-tracking visas for minorities from South Africa who are facing racism."

When did we become obligated to be the saviors to the whole world and why should we have to continue it eternally?
All we get is third world immigrants and that's about 90% of what we're going to get for at least the rest of my life. It won't end until this country is majority Hispanic/Asian.
Do you think that is what they are looking at, rather then the work life balance offered in the u.s. as opposed to the work life balance offered in their own country?
All of Europe have their migration policies. The u.s. is not unique in picking and choosing who qualifies to become a citizen.
I've thought for a long time now that a solution to the problem at the boarder, would be to set up a booth and help those wishing it migrate fill out paperwork for an alternate destination. Due to low birth rates, countries around the world have made vast changes in their migration policies, so as, to include those that would have previously been turned away. (Russia, China, Japan, etc.)
It is exactly the same. Except for Europeans, the wait times for certain visas are shorter.
It's just that educated Europeans - believe it or not - aren't chomping at the bit to exchange their 5 weeks of paid vacation and comfortable work/life balance for H1B visa conditions.
My experience is they aren’t chomping at the bit, but many are going for the L-1 at companies that give 4-5 weeks PTO, 9 paid holidays, 9/80 schedule with some work from home, comprehensive insurance, 9% 401k match, etc. They raise their kids here and visit home every year, but have no intention of going back.
Well what citizen in their right mind whether they be left or right wants so much diversity that it changes the demographics, identifying culture and language of our own country? Does balkinization and culture clash ring a bell?
