Except, as I pointed out above, the primary failure of the argument here is that the two incidents lie in the purview of two entirely different sets of policymakers. Who’s to say what the Canadians or the Americans would have done had the migrant tragedy unfolded on their doorstep? Or the Greeks, if confronted by a stranded sub full of billionaires?

Who is to say indeed. One can only rely upon educated guesses. Or a mystical belief in a North American Utopia that incidentally doesn't ordinarily volunteer to take on the refugees it bombs onto Europe's shores.
