    A better question is whether the states that have been destabilizing and destroying countries across the world for decades have a moral responsibility to atone for their crimes by accepting refugees created by through these atrocities. Europeans and Americans have destroyed countless nations in Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. People are now fleeing these places and westerners are pulling up the ladders.

      Not a single country is free from commiting atrocitties an some point in history. I’m not justifiying it tho. After all, we’re all human beings, nationalities do not matter. We should help (or at the very least respect) each other.

        It’s more about taking responsibility for the atrocities being committed. The west created many humanitarian crises that are currently ongoing. Afghanistan and Yemen being two prominent examples. Yet, the people in the west are not taking responsibility for this by taking in refugees from these places or even pressuring their governments to change course.
