while i agree with the логика "пускай остаются, режим скорее падет" довольно дикая - i disagree re russia china tibet saudi arabia afganistan and other places where people might be in danger.
people being repressed or in danger - is not a sufficient cause for opening up the gates.
immigration needs to be controlled and directed.
we ( me and mine) got lucky, we accidentally got sold to america. do you remember Olen'ka? the transparent woman? when dovlatov and i and others were enjoying our european holiday, Olya was sitting in a concentration camp in Rome, eating lentils and goat stew, waiting for a year to get int the US.
let's just face it - we got lucky. period. then the rest, left behind, were no longer lucky. the same with teh cubans. htey enjoyed a completely illogical special status - and now it's over.
