First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of immigration policy. It does not need other sentences for context. It gives a broad overview of the situation. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "The consequence" which needs prior context. Paragraph 3 starts with "At the same time" which shows it is not independent. Paragraph 4 starts with "Because of the election" which also needs context. Paragraph 5 starts with "We accept" but it refers back to previous ideas.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion. It gives the final result of the previous ideas about refugee policies and applications.
