Give me a break. A refugee is not a second class human, or second class citizen for that fact. They are non-citizens. If they have official refugee status then they were invited. They need some type of identification but a this wrist band thing is stupid. I wouldn’t want to wear it.
I suppose we could squabble about how these refugees came to be in these foreign countries. Invited or allowed to enter? What were the alternatives? Execution, imprisonment, exile, rejection...? Who knows. That's all moot as it pertains to their place or their honor in foreign lands as it relates to respect. That is the issue here.
They are embarrassed and humiliated for having to wear wristbands because of what the local citizenry thinks of them. They are in a country with nothing, fleeing their own nation. That they are allowed to be there and get the free stuff (food and shelter) should instill some gratitude. That they complain about their acceptance is a bit much and only fuels the contempt that the locals have for them.
Have you ever given a "needy" person something out of compassion and then been scolded for not giving enough? I have. Guess what feelings toward that person and that class of people tend to proliferate.
Let's also not forget, most of these "honorable" refugees left their wives and children in the war torn countries to save themselves. The refugees are mostly men. I don't care to consider what general honor or respect anyone should be obligated to afford the masses simply for them being there. Individually, their moral and Christian conviction can be applied as any individual sees fit. But I object to the political correctness that every whim, want and respect be demanded by others through policy based on feelings at the potential sacrifice of the national citizenry.
