That's not it, but in many cases Western imperialism is involved in the conditions that made these people want to leave in the first place.

I’m not blaming them I am saying they still often make a decision. They are humans who have some control of their lives. That’s not mutually exclusive with saying they are also pressured externally.

The way they were originally described made it sound like they are just pieces on a board incapable of deciding what they want and acting on it.

Yeah and nobody is saying they don't have agency. You're preaching to... no one?

Plenty of people seem to agree with me so the dismissive attitude is not warranted.
