Refugees Create Opportunities for Community Good By Mario J. Miranda

By: Material type: ArticleArticlePublication details: Pune; Kuruvilla Pandikattu Joseph, July-Sep 2022Description: Pages 150-166Subject(s):
Contents:
The current mood of governments of several recantations is hardly respectful of the principle of nonrefoulment. their policies to restrict refugee applications appears to be influenced by demagogues with nationalist and immigration-hostile policies. A significant proportion of the community in these constituencies do not acknowledge that large parts of their lifestyles carry the flavors of refugee migrants' contributions to the salad bowl in which they live. the opportunities that arise for adding different dressings to the salad are often taken for granted and go uncelebrated. In a capitalist world, regularly reminded of the need to acquire more in order to measure up, there is incessant fear of not possessing enough to get ahead. It is therefore not surprising that many in the developed world are not keen to absorb displaced people in their communities. Groups and organizations appreciative of the Christian ethos and motivated by the goodwill for displaced people, when pleading the refugee cause, can consider employing a sound bite in public discourse that resonates the defining theme of the miracle of the loaves nd fish-gratitude for engaging with goodness.
