I agree - but let's be clear: these are not 'immigrants' they are refugees. I call them the most vulnerable, because they are fleeing for their very survival, with what they can carry on their backs. They are the victims of a catastrophic civil war, whose plight is at least in part the result of western policies in their region. And even if that war had fuck all to do with us, as human beings we should at the very least be capable of empathising with their suffering, not mocking them for the crime of being desperate.
