Jesus Was a Refugee
Or so says Pope Benedict. His family was forced to flee to Egypt after the Magi ratted Jesus out (by mistake).
Well, OK. Refugees are different than migrants though. I think refugees are those under direct threat form their government - say, the Christians of the Arab (that is, Muslim) world. If they stay, they will in all likelihood suffer persecution and die. A migrant is someone who leaves for greener grass.
My personal opinion is that they should be treated differently - two lines, with immigrants moving faster.
Just my opinion - and we should be kind and respectful to both...
Reminds me of the time that Hillary Clinton said that Jesus was born in a manger because he was "homeless".
