People don’t have free agency to move to any country they want. In my view the free agency which you say is being removed never actually existed in the first place.

But I do find it funny that “give me your poor” (yes I’m borrowing from the US) turned into “give me your elite”.

I didn’t say people had free agency to go to any country they want. You are presenting a false dichotomy. There are different people with different access to different places with different senses of urgency and for different reasons. Many people make choices on whether or not to immigrate, as well as where to immigrate if they choose to. They have agency, they are not just pawns in this discussion to be shuffled around.
