Western Europe is advanced secularism, religious identity and probably national identity is frowned upon. They can't compete with the religious identity of their Muslim immigrants, because in general the Europeans have lost their strong Christian identity. This is still not true in the USA though this is what the secular separation of church and state want.
Compared to European Muslims Mexicans in Americans can find employment, though that may be below the minimum wage. A lot of the unemployment in Europe is due to their minimum wage and entitlement programs. Who suffers, minorities, which also happens to be a lot of male Muslim youths.
BUt if you think immigaration is a problem here:

With around six million illegal migrants already living in the EU and perhaps as many as 500,000 arriving each year, the problem of illegal immigration has reached the same order of magnitude in Europe as in the U.S. And the potential for illegal immigration to the EU is arguably bigger than to the U.S. Bordering both North Africa and the former Soviet states, Europe has the equivalent of several Mexicos on its doorstep.
