Are there any (continental) Europeans in the US?

I was wondering how many people working in IBD/M&A as a (summer) analyst in NYC are from Europe (ex UK). My guess is that everybody is from the US/Canada, it is probably even more true for places like SF/LA etc. I am asking since it seems to me that it is nearly impossible to break into banking in the US unless you are actually from there or attend a US school. I know that London seems like a more viable alternative, even HK/Singapore tend to be more open to foreigners.
