Just as Europeans fleeing largely inter-European issues and inter-Christian disagreements in Europe shouldn't have been allowed to come to America? As we know nothing good came of that.
- mikeash 11y agoEuropean immigration to the Americas is pretty much the poster child for immigrants completely wrecking a place, taking it over, foisting their culture and religion on everybody, etc. I have a lot of sympathy for people fleeing the conflicts in the Middle East, but European immigration to the Americas is probably the worst imaginable example.
- hugh4 11y agoThat one didn't work out too well for the natives either, of I recall correctly. Is that really the example you want to use? At least in that case, the invaders came from a more advanced (by every reasonable measure) society and once they were done killing and imprisoning the natives they built a more advanced society in place. In this case the invaders come from a backwards society and religion which has already turned the cradle of civilisation into a hellhole.
