Yep, people should be helped in their own country, and I don't mean simply by throwing money or aid at them. That never works, as the money and supplies are taken by the corrupt government there, and the people in the area are in the same spot they were before. If you can help the citizens of a nation to be self-sufficient, and to help them build their nation, then everyone there can be better off.
Yes, easier said than done, however, its still a more feasible option than trying to bring them all to a more prosperous nation, and bankrupting that nation by overtaxing the limited resources.
In other words, if you bring millions from a poorer nation to a richer nation, without concern for the resources of the nation, you only end up breaking the richer nation, and end up expanding the number of people in poverty, while failing to uplift the people that were imported in the first place.
Even more so, millions more will still live in poverty back in the old place.

The way I see it, our current trend will lead to the following:
Today: "We have a higher standard of living than Mexico"
A few decades from now: "Well, we're better off than Indonesia"
In more obvious terms, the "It could be worse..." mindset, which is awful.
