Because your country is your home. People have a right to communally decide who they let in.

  > Because your country is your home. Who says? Have you been hiding the rulebook to the game of Life: Spaceship Earth this whole time? It's threads like these that remind me HN is not a different collection of voices. It's the same mix of A-holes with a higher average net worths and grander visions of themselves. Root commenter: "Apathetic"? Suggesting a government is apathetic for its distinct efforts to not be apathetic towards others in need is rich... and a special kind of horrible.

    > Who says? Who says it's not? Don't the people living in a country have a right to decide what to do with it?

      No, they don't. You can't just arbitrarily say huge chunks of planet are off limits because the people who fell out of a vagina there say so. You can enforce it with guns and an ongoing culture as we see with the current state of things, but that doesn't make it moral.
