I personally remember scenes where Ul'dahn citizens were upset by the refugees but that's because they see them as a drain on their resources (*cough*Illegal Immigration*cough). I don't remember complete roadblocks in their way.
But you see (Ala Mhigan) refugees who get taken in by the notions of summoning Rhaglr? or them willing to start -violent- protests with arms supplied byfor his own agenda.
I thought that it was heavily implied that the Domans could not look elsewhere than Ul'dah. NOT SURE WHY, but everyone just says "their internal affairs are ____" but what makes that much different than Ul'dah? Just one primal presence? They -do- have Ifrit who quite HAPPILY tempers everyone and has the Amalj'aa temper people (versus what Ramuh does, what Titan does, what leviathan does - based on the Sahagin "we were forced cause you're taking our breeding grounds) for him.
I don't know. I just see Ul'dah as the closest to America as any of the nations can get.
But we can't all be humanitarians. Resources are limited and Ul'dah's resources are just that, limited.
The primal thing is an interesting side topic. Ifrit seems to be the only truly 'evil' primal, and the only one who would probably destroy eorzea if left alone
It seems most of the other primals could be dealt woth using sufficient diplomacy towards their beast tribe summoners.
