I agree. It's how any wealthy country should control immigration. The UK fertility rate decreased and the doors were flung open, assisted additionally by damnable EU policy.
We're one of the few countries worldwide who meet the 0.7% GNI commitment to Foreign Aid and contribute more than any other country accordingly. The US donates more money but never anything near 0.7% of their GNI. In 2014 they donated 0.19% the same as a poor country like Portugal and wealthy Japan.
If every country met their commitment refugees would have far more facilities available closer to their home countries where the vast majority are already hosted with desperately insufficient International assistance.
Instead in Europe, inestimable billions have been spent when it was and still is desperately needed elsewhere by Aid agencies.
Including by EU countries like Germany who don't meet their Aid budget, preferring their money to be recirculated around their own economy by their prospective new refugee work force and baby makers.
It would have helped at least ten times more refugees in their neighbouring countries for many years and provided much better facilities, opportunities and preparation to return to their own countries,
