Now we live in a liberal society anyone has the potential to move here. I don't think it's wise opening our islands as a high choice for settlement when there are well established sanctuary communities across the country. Doesn't mean we need to shun them, but it is not our place to be starting new communities, in a place where land is everything, and dynasties live as is. These people are welcome but not in ways that give up priorities of our families obvious needs right now.
