I feel like they are beyond just letting them immigrate. They've let their regime run too long. They affect policy in western nations when they turn up. They should be outright banned and then let them claim refugee status if they want to get out. If they can't prove they are war criminals then back they go.

Not to dilute your point in any way but immigration from non-western countries into Western countries is almost predominantly always highly educated individuals because they're the only ones with the resources to get out.

Finally a sensible opinion on the topic. We should welcome the people who oppose this insane shit their government does. Same for russians.

I applaud everyone who is willing to stand up to their government, but I also don't expect them to risk their lives if they would rather move to a better place.
