For as long as I can remember, refugees have been
treated with cruelty, hypocrisy, and contempt.
Imagine a terrible war or genocide happening in
your own home town. Imagine gangs of lawless
thugs prowling the streets robbing raping and
killing.
Imagine a government unable or unwilling to
protect you, or, even worse, being the perpetrator
of the violence.
Let's imagine that you and your family must flee
for your lives. You reach the nearest international
border and meet soldiers with bayonets.
"Go home, we don't want you here"
"We can't afford to feed all of our own."
You would think, after all these years of strife, that
there would be an international agreement on refugees,
but there are people who were born in "refugee camps"
who are now adults and have never been welcome anywhere.
:cool:
