I just heard this brilliant line the other day:
You have to understand
No one puts their children in a boat
Unless the water is safer than the land.
- @warsan_shire
Refugees are women, children, babies. People seem to forget this when walls are built to keep refugees out. You are denying children the right to shelter, school, safety, you are denying them a future.

Is it that they 'forget' or do they see them as the other, therefore they are indifferent to their plight?

They also don't seem to realize/remember/'give a damn that these refugees aren't coming here because they want a "free ride", they're running away from violence and abuse. They don't have time to go through the long "process". Show some compassion.
