Yes, but it has been pointed out to me that a uniform policy with regard to immigrants in Africa would be inappropriate.

Some are legitimate refugees fleeing violence. Others are the very people who perpetrated the violence, and who seek to spread that same violence wherever they go. These are two quite different types of people and can not be treated the same way.
