As an aside, I realized the other day that I enjoy the Little Mermaid cartoon, but don't really care if I ever see it again. I'll sing the songs, or tell a joke from it, but won't sit down and watch. If I think about a rooster playing a stringed I strument, I suddenly want to watch Robin Hood.
When high-trust meets low-trust society.
“Just the tip”
I like the Bible proverb even more:
-- Prov 17:13
"Give them an inch & they'll take a kilometer!"
(see what I did there? 😊)
Feel quite crabby from that fishy take.

True enough, except for the fact that the rulers obviously aren't bringing in immigrants for "kindness".
That's how it is sold to stupid people, same as "democracy and freedom" in Ukraine... or Iraq.
When the numbers are crunched, the term largesse comes to mind.,
Once you take in a few "refugees", they turn into settlers.
Next thing you know, you are starving in a concentration camp, Gaza style.
Take me in oh tender woman
When Europe meets MENA immigrants.
