People make that leap because they feel like they have no choice... and the way to reduce this sort of economic migration isn't "closing the borders" of the countries they're trying to come to... it's actually starting to work together to make sure that people don't have to abandon their homes in the first place.

Absolutely but that takes money and resources. When you look at countries like Nigeria and the foreign oil corporations like Shell, Texaco and Mobil there has to be some responsibility laid in their hands. When the Nigerians found oil, the West wanted their chunk of the pie. The only people who suffered in this paradox of plenty were the Nigerians.
