America may have been founded by Europeans, but nowadays most immigrants are from countries like Mexico, India and China. You won't find any European country in the top 10.
There are about 5 million Americans living abroad, lead again by Mexico.
There are millions of people who were born in Europe and currently live in the United States, mainly of working age. There are a comparatively much smaller number of Americans living in Europe, a significant portion of which are well-off retirees (well-off by European standards). This is a fairly typical migration pattern for two places at different levels of economic development. A larger group of economic migrants move to the richer region in search of a better life, while a much smaller group of retirees move to the poorer region in an effort to boost their spending power.
