Bleeding Hearts have a vote. When they have a chance, they can use their vote to show how they want their government to behave towards immigrants (or any other matter). That's how it works in a democracy.

Many people do what they can for immigrants and other vulnerable groups, but they don't shout about it. They do it because they feel it's the right thing to do, not because they want to win approval from others.
