I find immigration to be a net negative. Sure some people get a better lot by emigrating, but in the process there is brain deain and such. So instead of them helping their own country to better themselves, their own country gets worse.
and thats why allowing immigration to give them a chance of "a better life" is IMO unethical.

I've met a lot of smart immigrants who left their country because there was no opportunity for them to contribute or improve. Often there's so much corruption or racial/religious discrimination that it's a choice to sink or swim.
Of course, the prospect of "a better life" even in the most dire circumstances is becoming less attainable when the local population are already struggling. I've seen several articles similar to this one, where the reception from people is "I'm struggling to pay my rent too, why doesn't anyone do a story on that?"
