Yeah I agree with you about the trying to help them in their own country, but how?

What can we do to help Ukraine? How do we help all those economical refugees from Africa?

There is no short term solution so meanwhile we might as well accept them here. Where the population is slowly dying and where we need hands to do the dirty work that no Swiss born want to do.

At least for Ukraine we could allow re-exports of weapons, as many parties wanted.

For Africa and other regions we could - depending on the situation - help with food deliveries, etc. Or we could try to support the local economies.

But you are right that we can't help everyone in their countries of origin and should welcome them in Switzerland. Welcoming them in Switzerland should include help for integration though.
E.g Language courses, chances to work, informations about the culture in Switzerland, maybe something like a godparent or friend from Switzerland.
In schools there should be special classses for the refugees at the beginning to learn the language or a lot of support (not just a few lessons as it sometimes the case).

Sadly those things are not possible if the biggest party is just refusing those people and not helping at all (which in my opinion is a strategy to make refugees look worse).
