And if Venezuela (also an oil country) could afford to absorb as many Colombian migrants as it wanted, that means that someone could PUSH OUT a bunch of colombians into Venezuela (and that it would be ethically right to do so)?

Obviously, that is an analogy, and people hate it when an analogy doesn’t go their way, thus declaring that analogies are wrong and never to be used.

It’s a false analogy.

And if Colorado could afford to absorb as many New Jersey refugees as it wanted, that means that someone could PUSH OUT a bunch of New Jerseyans into Colorado (and that it would be ethically right to do so)?
