If Thailand has say an earthquake like Nepal (god forbid) they'd be whining for aid but they won't offer it to those in desperate need?

We have the same policy going for Cuban refugees. We can't just let them in all willy nilly, but we feel too bad to send them back when we actually have to do all the paperwork and put them on our own boats with our own immigration/Coast Guard personnel.
