The question
Should wealthy nations take in far more refugees?
The room, that day
One person set a firm boundary around keeping the country's own ways.

The voices in the room
I draw the line at keeping our ways
Refugees are fine only if they fit in and leave their broken systems behind.
“Only if the refuge conforms to that country's ways.”
Where they actually divided
The split runs over whether newcomers must fully match the host culture or can keep their own.
What both sides reached for
Everyone wants the country to stay intact and functional.
What the room didn’t say
No one described what it feels like to be the one seeking refuge.
From above the room
The single voice treated conformity as the only workable test. It left the scale of 'far more' unaddressed. The worry centered on imported problems rather than capacity or cost.
