It really isn't, it's very easy to judge immigrants from our position but if the roles were reversed so many anti-immigrant people would be doing everything they could to get into the country.

It's easy to judge from a position of safety but throw the Anti-Immigrant people into a refugee's shoes and see how quickly they'd find a way to cheat the system to get in.

You're correct, it's Human nature we all would do the same thing if our lives were under threat.

No-doubt if the roles were reversed - those currently trying to force themselves onto other countries would be the first to stop others from them doing so to them. You do realise it would undoubtedly work both ways don’t you.

Bit of a pointless statement as it doesn't really affect what I'm saying but okay?

All you've really done is helped my argument that more empathy is needed for immigrants and that most people in our position are incapable of it.
