So, by following your reasoning, a sound-economy country, should receive aliens until such receiving country has no room, is broke, and everybody are on the edge of starvation?

No.
Everyone agrees that there are material limits to what a country can provide. It is indeed obvious that there is a limit to the amount of help that a country can provide.
But raverbashing used a bait-and-switch argument, to say that because there are limits, we (people who live in the EU), can now prevent refugees from entering the EU countries.
What I asked is clarification of what those limits are, and how they were determined.
One limit is "tolerance for foreigners." That's certainly a limit. Is that the limit that raverbashing is talking about?
Another limit is "there is no place to put them." Sweden has problems with that.
I can think of other limits. But none are the sort of existential limits that everyone agrees exists.
