That's not an unpopular opinion, that's just a sheltered opinion. A few things you need to get out of your head:

  1. That so called 'safe countries' are safe for everyone. This doesn't say anything about those countries, it only says how little you know about them.
  2. People seek asylum trivially and are choosy beggars for going to X country (doesn't matter where, this kind of sentiment is always the same)
  3. Europe going to war was 'the good old days'.
  4. That Europe isn't at war right now
  5. The act of being born in a 'safe country' makes you more deserving of it than other human beings
