What I'm saying is that if it's just as unethical to not allow non refugee foreigners to walk right into a country willy nilly, as it is to turn away people trying to escape slavery, then we shouldn't regulate borders at all.
And from what I understand, FNM does agree that the border should be regulated.
The thing is that no one is saying those two things are equivalent. That renders your conclusion reductio ad absurdum.
