Healing people and giving them food and water does exactly nothing. A country with bad politics that does not grow and produce does not have a positve impact. If we can get these people into the market economy then it will of course produce massiv positive impact. If they live in a country that has bad policy, it might even have negative impact. Making it easier to substain a army and fight wars against other nations. By far the simplest way of doing this would be to change immigration policy in all of the western world. All the tools we have, forign aid, pease misssions and so on, the most effective is immigration. Even most extream anti immigration economists, can only come up with numbers like "5% pay retraction over 30 years for uneducated americans" looking at the past. However, sadly, the in general the west congratulate itself on the bit of forign aid (that is counter-productive about half of the time) and prefers to keep living with no 'outsider' that 'destroy' there culutre and language.
