The main problem with this concern over the poor, poor humans who can't get into Krakoa is that people are getting too hung up on futile philosophical implications and dismissing material, practical aspects. It doesn't matter if mutants can get in a high horse and try to be the "better ones" when their nation is beginning to establish itself. Down the line, when mutant-human relations are in a better state (so, when humans stop trying to actively terminate mutants, who aren't going to war with them, so far), humans should be allowed on the main land. Before that, Krakoa doesn't have the luxury of underestimating them and the threat they might represent. Even if good people get there, you can't guarantee that they won't be captured by anti-mutant forces and have the information extracted from them through torture or other inhumane methods.
It's really not that hard to understand.
The thing is, if we had a real life equivalent to Krakoa, it wouldnt be Britain closing its borders to migrants theyre discriminating against. Itd be all these migrants setting up a shop on a brand new land, creating a society for themselves and then telling Britain "well since you didnt want us, we dont want u either". Thats the difference.
You can convince someone of an opinion, you cant exactly change someones mind about a fact they know to be true.
How Krakoa can't allow the family of the mutants? it is just pure madness
Your example doesn't work. Why? Because you are assuming that ALL sapiens think the same when it comes to mutants. That they ALL hate them, that they ALL fear them, that ALL of them want to kill the mutants.
It's a fallacy.
People are not MONOLITHIC. People are PEOPLE. They are DIFFERENT, hold DIFFERENT beliefs and DIFFERENT views on things.
As long as you don't integrate that in your examples, they'll keep falling flat on their face like this caricatural one.

Even then you are misrepresenting the truth.The UK was never part of the Schengen agreement and that was never held up as a xenophobic policy from my perspective. So at no point was it allowed for a French or German national to just walk into the UK without a passport even though they could do so between their respective countries.
