you can't just, en masse, make people leave their home country.

i think ALLOWING THEM THE OPTION is the right course.

  - No denying that would upset many of the nine million, but let's not kid ourselves that the country is very fixable as it stands. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 13:00 5
    - I don't think the UN would ever stand for re-colonization (which is what this would amount to). Sets too much of a bad precedent. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 13:09
    - but, again, it's not really our choice to make FOR them. we can give them options, that's all. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:08 3
      - It's the debate about injection clinics on a mass scale. A situation hurts the person. They cannot escape. We feel better thanks to margianal help. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 13:15 2
        
        but, what you suggest is horribly over-stepping bounds. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 13:16 1
        
        In the realm of today's standards, sure. Again, I do not deny it could happen in today's environment. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 13:22
