One race that we all share is the human race, and I feel so sad that some of us who are lucky enough, by accident of birth, to be born in a safe country, cannot show compassion to those who haven’t had this advantage.
If we were placed “behind the veil of ignorance” as John Rawls the philosopher said, would we still be advocating solutions, such as the Rwanda deal, to refugees?
I don’t think anyone believes in an “open door” policy, but there must be a more humane way of dealing fairly with refugees, rather than treating them as unwanted cargo, to be discarded to whichever country can be “bribed” to take them.
