Sigh, the classic Centrist trap. In order to defend your reflexive defense of the status quo, you have to pretend that anything else is "extreme" ๐
I have said nothing of the sort. I've merely pointed out that you defend as inevitable that which is unnecessarily enforced. The only one making snap character judgments here is you.
True.
Also true, but people with disabilities generally tend to know someone in the country before migrating. People who are deprived by their loved ones being denied entry.
Unless we're talking refugees, in which case it's any country's legal and moral duty to take them in and protect them from whatever they're fleeing from.
Again with the strawmen. You don't need infinite resources to care for everyone who's in need. In the case of all but the poorest countries (which are mostly that poor because of being looted by richer countries) you just need to better distribute the ones you already have, rather than throw all the wealth and ownership at the already obscenely rich wealth hoarders.
To want a better deal for the 90% of people who aren't rich and use resources on those that need them most rather than perpetuating the upwards transfer of wealth inherent to capitalism isn't communism. It's just wanting a better world for the vast majority of humanity.
