What are your thoughts on worldwide immigration?

Let’s talk about immigration… specifically about those fleeing wars and other terrors, including famine and an economy so bad their children are starving.

Do you feel like a country (any country, but specifically yours) has a responsibility to take in, humanly care for, shelter, and rehome (keep them in your country) these immigrants?

Should there be a global standard or should each country be on its own to do as it wishes in regard to immigrants fleeing wars/terror and abject poverty/hunger?

Sigh, if only it was that easy. Fleeing war or places with high risk of natural disasters seems logical and reasonable to me but I openly say that I hate how far economic migration got. Huge amounts of people leave places with gorgeus nature and push themselves into big cities where the infrastructure is failing, rent is enormous and pollution increases. I know that it's often bacause of politics and the feelings of helplessness in places where everything seems backwards and insufficient but it can't go on like that forever. If only there was a way to improve the quality of life in more places so that the wealth could be distributed geographically more evenly.

@CrazyMusicLover Yes, there has to be a plan, just not williy-nilly movement, but if we really cared, it wouldn't be all that difficult.
