Immigration is a problem in a country where 98.5% of the people are Japanese? LOL. This is not a matter of being "nice", the issue of immigration is much more complex, try reading something about European history. We don't live on an island here and we have a history of colonial empires. As for the matter of refugees, this is not just a question of politics against 'niceness' and it's a different matter from that of immigration. The UN 1951 Refugee Convention is based on the declaration of human rights, which states that all individuals have the right to seek asylum from persecution in other countries. So basically, yes, it is a question of morality: these people are fleeing war and death. We are not being "nice" to them, we are being humane. Like all many Europeans, I also somehow fear that we might let terrorists posing our refugees within our borders, but I also think that racist and xenophobic actions in our society will only do harm and radicalise people. We need to have stricter checks on people who are given asylum. Things are not in black and white...
