This is not a historical perspective. Around 1900, it were the socialists who opposed immigration as a tool to drive down wages:

Back then the right wing were the industrialists who wanted immigration.

Hitler blamed all sorts of people, including the socialists (who were against immigration). Using Hitler to shut down any discussion about immigration is not very productive. Obviously there are limits. Less so in the U.S. because there is more space, but in Europe everyone is already living in tiny overpriced apartments on top of each other.

It was partly a global man made issue because every country (including the U.S.) printed COVID money like crazy.

It was the Supreme Court, staffed by Trump, who stopped the COVID madness with their vaccine mandate ruling.

The other issue is that Biden and his cronies Nuland, Blinken, Sullivan et al. deliberately escalated the Ukraine situation in 2021/2022, with the well known consequences. Note that Zelensky himself begged Biden not to be too aggressive at the Munich summit in early 2022! If I were Ukrainian, I'd loathe Biden.

The Biden administration mandated that their EU "allies" would participate in disastrous sanctions, which sent the EU into economic stagnation.

The U.S. is safe because it has natural gas and the reserve currency, which means they can print money more easily. It is not to Biden's credit that the U.S. economy is comparatively better.

I'd say that over 50% of Europe is very happy with the Trump victory, the EU press does not reflect public opinion.
