Greece isn't exactly a great neighbor at the moment, but no one is suggesting they build a fence around it. Comparing Europe to us is like comparing apples to oranges, but ignoring Mexico and pretending our policies with regard to our neighbor hasn't caused a large part of our problem with immigration is ludicrous. We'll never fix our illegal immigration problem without being a better neighbor to Mexico and improving the living condition discrepancy that can be overcome by simply stepping over a border.

We also take in people seeking asylum but it's not an unlimited number. I'm willing to wager the EU countries also have limitations on how many visas they issue to asylum seekers.
In regards to Mexico what do you really think we can do to be better neighbors or improving their living conditions? We already send billions in aid (which inly grease the palms of the elite) along with the billions sent in by citizens to family members still living there. Other than us over throwing the current corrupt government and annexing them our hands are tied.
