They definitely won't be accepted happily, or at all. People have already had enough of immigration and the politics reflect that (the rise of right-wing populists in Western countries.)

My parents migrated from the Middle East in the 80s due to war so I have an insight in what goes on in their country, people leave for Europe in quest of a better life quite often. They spend lots of $$ on it and they still get rejected and sent back, I've had personal experiences with people doing that. I've been thinking about the situation that could arise, and it's worrying.

Well, we should be definitely fixing these countries on the spot for 100% of their population - helping top 10% to emigrate doesn't fix any problem for the rest of populace.

Unfortunately, after decolonization Western countries called it a day: The world is saved once more and they don't have to care anymore, except by using it as a bait in internal politics.
