Lincoln Anthony (8th Period)-"Migrants face tear gas, razor wire"

The refugee crisis from the Middle East worsens as the migrants in Macedonia face razor wire and tear gas as they try to escape to Greece. These attacks towards the migrants by the police force have caused a public outcry for the governments of these countries to help these desperate people seeking asylum.

This is a delicate subject. I believe it is the moral duty of these governments to assimilate these people into their society, but I can understand the fear of these people because of recent terrorist attacks and the New Year thing in Cologne, but I believe that ultimately if we are to eventually find some kind of understanding or agreement of peace, we must shun all nativist thinking. It's really outdated.

  1. Forcing people back into the place their trying to escape from is awful. The government should at least try to let some people in or it could turn out to be like the U.S. denying so many Jews during WWII.
