A question for you: suppose 2 people want to immigrate to your country, but only 1 of them will be allowed, and it's your job to choose which 1 is. How would you decide (or what criteria would you use to decide) which of the 2 people to allow to immigrate into your country?

Note: if it isn't obvious, the above is a hypothetical to help facilitate thinking on a thorny topic - it's not me advocating a position, nor is it a "false dichotomy" as it is not a claim that this is the only choice countries face in real life
