Net migration rate in France [1] (as an example of a Western European country with a substantial migration over many decades) and Sweden [2] did not increase in any unprecedented way in resent years. In Sweden it's actually declining. There was a lot of migration in Europe over the years, so arrogantly claiming that Europe is "discovering" something is not worth a serious response.

Oh come on, the migration into Sweden in the 80s was educationally, financially and culturally distinct from that of recent years. That’s the big experiment Europe is engaged in. Is there something about European culture and institutions that can assimilate migrants? (America is quite good at this.) Or is the success not extensible.
