USA: UN pushes for migrants to be called refugees
[Ozzie Saffa]
Excellent idea. They indeed should be refugees; that's what they are. UN-sponsored and financed camps should be built; these should be at least of the quality provided to Syrian and Palestinian refugees.
To facilitate access, the camps should be located south of the Rio Grande. This way the refugees won't have to contend with swimming a river, climbing a fence, and evading U.S. Border Patrol officers; they can go straight to the U.N. personnel in charge in northern Mexico.
Mexico, given its desire to be a leader in third-world solidarity, should immediately agree.
I say this partly tongue-in-cheek, of course, but it does beg a question: where are the Mexican authorities in all this? 300,000 kiddies are trekking across their country and the authorities know nothing about it? |
