Elwe just wanted to protect his people. He knew Morgoth had come to Beleriand because of the Noldorne, and to him it seemed that if the Noldorne did not enter his realm, his people would not be endangered. Although Elwe was not the best king, he did what he thought was best for his people. And it is not despicable that he only allowed his kin into his realm. He did not know the consequence if he allowed the Noldorne in his kingdom.
