Greece clears thousands of refugees from tent city on border- Cameron Eisenberg

Article- Greece has began to relocate all the refugees camping out on their borders to organized facilities. The refugees(about 8000)were camping out outside the city of Idomeni. They are being taken out by bus. Most of the refugees have come from places like Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraqi, escaping the poverty and wars. Some people are concerned about the condition of the facilieties the people are being relocated to.
Analysis- I'm glad that the Greeks have been helping the refugees, but i am also concerned the with condition of the facilities. The Refugees have already been through a lot, and having run-down and healthy conditions shouldn't be a concern of theirs. This is like what happened to immigrants during the gilded and progressive age, where tons of people, escaping poverty and war, were forced into tiny, unhealthy apartments.
