Assuming the country they are moving to (and that you are whining about) is the UK, then you are in a "special situation"....

Let's pretend (just for a minute) that your Great-Grandparents owned a large piece of land somewhere that was pillaged & stolen from them back when Queen Victoria was your monarch...they were chased off of the land (being simple folk), and eventually resettled wherever it is you live today...the people who live there now just discovered oil (worth perhaps BILLIONS) on that property...

Are you or you family today "owed" any of that money, even though you personally were not robbed, it was your Great-Grandparents who were?

My guess is that you would answer "yes"...

When Queen Victoria was "building her Empire", your forebears were the ones raping & pillaging the lands of the people whose descendants are today immigrating to your country....and understandably they are pissed off!

You can be angry at them all like, but the reality is that who you should REALLY be blaming is your own ancestors, not the immigrants!
