      only if you stipulate your opposition based on individuals.

      one can oppose all illegal immigrants based entirely on the legal definition of “illegal immigrant” and be ethically clear.

      moralistically… not so much.

        I don’t oppose refugees fleeing an unsafe country. I do oppose illegal immigrants coming from a safe country.

          so you’re ethically compromised but moralistically solid.

          good place to be tbh. allows those who desperately need help to find salvation and those who have and can to follow the rules.

            Basically. I’m also not against programmes to relieve other countries of their refugees (such as Greece) although I think such programmes should be evaluated for if we have the resources to support them and build them up into functioning members of society
