Not really. Your ancestors worked hard to improve the environment you were born in. It wasn't luck that created western civilization, it was the hard work and ingenuity of the generations that came before us.

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?
