I'm curious if you feel the same about re-migration of Belgians from the Congo?
Personally I think it's fine for any country to vote to control immigration as they see fit. I think Japan is a good example of a relatively xenophobic culture that deals with this fairly and thoughtfully.

Can't say I've ever heard anyone implying that colonialists leaving Belgium was unjust. Colonialists is actually not the right word, more like extended occupation, only slightly better than the enslavement of the Leopold II era. The Belgian's were less than 1% of the population and all but an ancillary amount worked in exploiting the native population.
