Having a holistic view of the situation is important though.

Understandably, but blaming other counties only simplifies a complex situation. Ireland was under British control for centuries. Even up to the 20th century, they imposed trade barriers & high tariffs. The Irish economy was awful in the 1980s, but was able to recover in the 1990s, due to government policies that benefited the country & the shift to a different-focused economy.
The best biggest factor to blame is current government corruption and the leaders those poor citizens have to lean on.

Not relevant to our immigration policy. Like it or not, countries act in their best interest.

It’s absolutely relevant, we can stop doing the things that create asylum seekers in the first place.
Shrugging our shoulders that “it is how it is, nothing we can do” is leading our world down too many bad paths

Sovereignty and the rule of law are infinitely more important than a “holistic view”.
