I mean, in an ideal world that emotive argument would work. But this isn't an ideal world and that ignores all the additional baggage that comes with a country taking in these refugees/migrants loel housing, basic needs funding, healthcare, etc. This is on top of lots of European nations already suffering economically at the moment from the Covid fallout and the Ukraine situation. Just saying "we should save them as it's the right thing to do" is far to simple for the world we live in.
