Letter to the I: Foreign Aid Spending

I concur with Matthew Norman's article concerning foreign aid spending.  However in this toxic environment for foreign aid spending it may be more effective to argue in favour of foreign aid to appeal to the concerns of it's opponents.  Most of the opponents of foreign aid are concerned about immigration and refugees.  It could be pointed out to them that if countries with struggling economies are given assistance, less of their countrymen may seek to come over here.  There is no sense in expressing altruistic arguments to those who are deaf to them.
