No-one said we should.

That's not why most people emigrate. Work, family, avoiding bad conditions in the home country, etc., are the main reasons to emigrate.

We'd have no immigrants in that case. You have to be pretty ignorant of history to think the UK is loved and respected around the world.

Why shouldn't we expect that from immigrants?
You're assuming all other things being equal here. E.g., you have no family in one or another place, no friends, the same jobs are available, etc.
