N. Korea and pretty much every other country in the world agree on perhaps only one thing, that N. Koreans should stay in N. Korea.

Most North Koreans are exploited and abused, and if they manage to get out on their own (since other countries dont care enough about human rights to try and actively help them to get out), they should be absolutely accepted and helped as much as possible to integrate into another country.

I absolutely agree. I'm just saying that both N. Korea and other countries prefer them to stay in N. Korea. And there are good reasons for that:

  • N. Korea gets some of its funding from workers sending money back to the mother country
  • N. Korea tries to infiltrate tech companies to cause problems from within
  • N. Korean citizens aren't prepared for the workforce in other countries, which can be a significant burden

But I absolutely believe countries should make an effort to take them in, I'm just saying that's not the current political climate.
