My only contribution now to this and likely some abuse will flow from this statement,comes from how I am, think and feel.
I hope I never change how I have come to think and feel as to migrants,refugees and anything that involves people.
I see myself as a human being, just one of many of the whole human race.
Whether fleeing persecution, war,famine and /or fleeing for their lives,I see all doing so as other equal human beings.
Reaching out and helping in their dire need is what I would always hope I would try to do and what those with power would do.
Adult or child,if other humans have any need or fear at all, hope and security is what they should be able to find, not judgement, derision and condemnation.

While your stance is commendable Joey, there are many who do abuse the systems, they take advantage and play on that very good nature.
I haven't seen anyone on this forum say they would turn their back on any genuine refugees, so please don't paint us all with that brush either.
