Voting in most free countries is cheap and easy. Would you like to spell out what you mean?

There is a lot of free, cheap and easy things... It is not interesting to point them out.

Accomodating and feeding people are among the most expensive things that exist. Refugees are very expensive for societies that take them in!

Unfortunately your wishful thinking does not match reality. I know everything could be so nice, but in reality you will steal, when you have nothing/little putting those around you at risk.

You realize this is basically arguing that Sugihara did the wrong thing?
He/She may

1) Think Sugihara was right 2) Believe that taking refugees into europe is worse on average/bad

All it takes is a different reason for Sugihara to be right

No

I argue that it created costs [for him and/or others] and put him (and others) at increased risk.

Funny thing is that I would have said "Accomodating and feeding people are among the most cheap and reasonable things to do, with great ROI."
