I don't think your analogy is accurate. "this is an overall good quality" is not disproved by the existence of one bad person who happens to possess that quality. But "all refugees should be sent back to where they came from" is disproven by the existence of one virtuous refugee.

That's stacking the deck just the same. You could likewise frame it was a comparison between "everything Hitler liked was bad" and "every refugee should be admitted" (and no matter how much you like refugees, you're eventually going to get to the point of turning one down).

> But "all refugees should be sent back to where they came from" is disproven by the existence of one virtuous refugee. Only if you also accept that "we should admit everyone who is virtuous". That is not a universally accepted assumption...
