I thought about that while writing it, but I couldn't quite figure out a way to complete that thought and articulate it. Because while it's true that they're more readily accepted into the imperial core than their victims, they're still not guaranteed the level of comfort and security they have, they're not assured employment or stable housing, and if their assets are all tied up in land or share ownership of companies in the settler state they could be quite destitute. They don't have it as bad as other refugees or immigrants, obviously, but that sort of uprooting and chaos is still something scary and threatening. So I left it as-is, since that bit is also more a stream-of-consciousness expression of settler fears than an exhaustive description of what relocating them back into the imperial core would entail.
