I hang out with people who were once refugees from Southeast Asia. I have literally had some ask me "what's with all these refugees at the southern border?"
I don't think these are bad people asking, but there is some kind of human frailty here. It's easy to forget, to say this is different, to pull up the ladder.
I do think every nation can/must decide its own immigration policy, but it would be nice to see something consistent in design.
