As sad as it sounds, this is also the solution to foreign AID, which does more harm than good. 30 years ago, Etheopia had 1 million starving people due to food shortages. We fed them, and now they have 10 million starving people (since people who don't starve make babies). If they had been left to starve, there would be enough of them to feed themselves.
All developed countries learned this the hard way, but look at them now.
No one is ever going to give you the Humanitarian of the Year award. divi Tiberio. Not that you seem to want it.
Still, it is important to remember the maxim that "when you starve with a tiger the tiger starves last."
As has been noted above, people are not going to calmly sit there starving to death. They will make a lot of trouble on the way out.
