The present mass movement of humans has been more widely described as that by “migrants” than that by “refugees”. For some, the implication is clear; these are people who are essentially economic migrants: They want to come over here to steal our jobs, take over our housing, have priority in utilizing our resources, and introduce their strange, unwelcome culture into our society. For others, however, those human beings are genuine cases: They have risked life and limb to go to (mainly) Europe and they would never have taken such great risks had they not been genuine cases of people fleeing much pain and suffering.
