So, we encounter a new race from the gamma quadrant that claim to be farmers. Yet they have spacecrafts. Lots of them, obviously so many to transport 3 million refugees. Who built those if they are just farmers? They must have a huge technological infrastructure on their planet if they are able to build spaceships that can travel between planets and cannot just be farmers.
Again, Star Trek feels flat when it comes to new species. Star Trek always is one-dimensional when it comes to species and planets: Everyone wears the same clothing style, everyone is always dressed in robes or non stylish rags and look like people on Earth 500 years ago (funky street wear anyone, or hipster clothes, tech gadgets?). Every individual of a species speaks the same language (just compare this to the thousands of languages on our planet), there seems to be always this ONE leader, that speaks for the whole planet (compare this to Earth, how many countries with leaders exist that habe different opinions about politics), and something like a huge administration, media etc. Exist nowhere. It is always a couple of people that decide on the fate of millions and billions in 1-2 meetings in a back room.
Bajor does the right move to not allow this unlikable new species to migrate to their planet. It would be like moving all of North Korea's population to unpopulated areas in Afghanistan or Irak in a few days and let them become farmers without any support whatsoever. No buildings, no infrastructure, no medical support, no police and no military, nothing. Of course those people would sooner or later migrate to populated areas to seek food and support. How blind must someone be to doubt that? They already tried to steal stuff on DS9 and showed that they cannot behave.
