But it's THEIR country to deal with but more so,

You know... my grandfather left Latvia because doing so was a lot easier than
staying there and trying to avoid being either shot or sent to Siberia, because
there really wasn't much he could actually do to get rid of Stalin and his
armies an KGB agents. (And yes, the KGB *was* actively looking for my
grandfather)

Are you suggesting he should have stayed there and "dealt with it"?

Saying it's their country to deal with overlooks the very real fact that
often, the only realistic choices are exile and martyrdom.
