Sure, but none of that has anything to do with you or your accomplishments which is where luck enters the equation as to your starting place.

For the record I think borders should be secure, but also allow pathways to citizenship.

We didn't earn it, but we were given it by our ancestors. While it does behoove us to be generous, it is still ours by right. We also have an obligation to our descendants to preserve it for them.

What good is it working to improve the fate of our descendants, if it is only going to be taken away from them because they didn't "earn" it?

Yes you were given it, which means you were lucky in what you received. By all means try to do the same for your descendants I didn't say anything to the contrary, just that they would be lucky in the same way
