The People-leaving-their-country-of-origin Crisis
Otherwise known as the “refugee crisis”. Definitely not the “migrant crisis”, because the only crisis involving migrants is one waiting to happen. You want to stop all immigration and deport all migrants already here? Fine – just be prepared to … Continue reading
