AH Challenge: Massive European Demographic Shift

All this talk about the plummeting European birthrate has got me thinking: what are some of the things that might occur to cause "reverse colonization", that is, an even greater influx of immigrants to Europe hailing from the Middle East and Africa, combined with immigrants from North America, Central America, Southeast and East asia, as well as even Oceania?

What I'm particularly interested in is the immigration of North America and Asia's intelligenica into Great Britain and Northwestern Europe. What would have to happen in the U.S./Canada/Japan (barring natural catastrophes, thermonuclear war, or economic disaster) in order to have millions of citizens of those countries depart for Europe? What would Europe look like after a few decades of this?

Well if the right wing trend in the US continues it could make a lot of liberals leave, and since most of the intellegenica of the US is liberal, that could be accomplished. That same trend could make canadians leave to try to get away from us and make immigrants make europe their main target instead of the US.

Canadians leave to get away from the US? They dont need to. Most Canadians only pay as much attention to the US as they want to.
