Your quote is very different from the situation you describe. Revoking citizenship is different than no pathway to citizenship. A pathway to citizenship is not open doors.

a country can change its mind though
Especially by voting in a party that says it will do it. That's democracy, right?
Why would you care about democracy? Plenty of countries don't have it. Why should America and Europe hold themselves up to such naive, idealistic standards with Middle Eastern countries around who aren't doing the same?
That's essentially the point you made, while conflating pulling the rug out from under people's feet because they've committed the crime of being brown with never having made the offer in the first place.

What countries can do is pretty expansive and unrelated to whether or not they're comparable to other things or good things for countries to do.
