The lack of opportunities is not the fault of the people who might be asked to implement them had they existed

Ukraine should be separated from Hong Kong. I am confident that the vast majority of Ukrainians would go home when the war is over.

As for Hong Kong, you could argue the case for allowing 100,000 of migrants in is less compelling given the fact they are not fleeing a situation where their lives are at risk. Very few I suspect plan to return to Hong Kong.

What is telling, and this is at the heart of the small boats faux-outrage, is that no one is angry at the people arriving from HK and the increased demand on Infra as a result.
