- Right wing is on rise in many European countries. Dutch recently elected one such government. Germany's right wing party has plans to deport all non white, non German immigrants irrespecrtive of whether they are legal/illegal. They are polling quite high.

- Spain/Italy both have right wing governments in power.

Few other cons about most of European countries:

- No matter what you will always be treated like a foreigner. Hence feeling of higher isolation.

- European population is getting old. OP will be working for quite a long time for a very low pension. US employers provide things like 401K and has much robust pension system.
