Thats because Europe have a very different system for supporting immigration.
In the US it's up to you to basically take care of yourself from day one.
in the EU you benefit from the social welfaresystem from day one.
In Europe you are made a patient so to speak, in the US you are made a provider. Europe doesn't have millions of people living their under the radar participating in the economy. Instead most immigrants and refugees gets paid by the system.
Further more the US is a big big big continent. Europe isn't yet it has more people than the US.
So this is not about being afraid this is about the rate, the quantity and the cultural change.
I read somewhere that this different means that the US get the 80% most self-sufficient immigrants while EU gets the 80% least self-sufficient immigrants which make sense when you think about the very different demand the US puts on your for self-sustaining your life.
