There isn't a lot of persecution or war in Latin American right now. Lots and lots of protesting in the last few years though, which I know you think protesters should be shot down in the street. There is lots of persecution and war in Africa right now. Kinda strange distinction to make imo.
no here I mean actual communist dictatorships like Venezuela, Cuba, north Korea.
i also think we in the west should give automatic permanent resident to anyone from China and Hong Kong (subject to future assessment, we don't want spies).
there is a lot of persecution in areas of Africa but take Nigeria: christians are persecuted in muslim areas, yes.
they can move to Nigerian christian areas and that's about it, there is no moral duty to host any Nigerian in the west because of religious persecution.
the instant your feet are somewhere the state doesn't actively tries to kill you, we are done with moral duty. we don't owe you a good life or anything, just a chance not to be actively hunted by an evil state entity.
like afghans flee and reach Turkey (as it happens often).
that's it, the **** Europe has to take them in, turkey isn't actively damaging them. we are done there
