The Definition Of Refugee & Their Plight:
There are three types of refugees:
* Refugees that were exiled from their homeland due to some official edict or pogrom:
* Refugees that sought asylum from personal harm due to political beliefs, affiliations, religious practices, ethnic identity, and sexual preferences or identity:
* Refugees that became victims of natural phenomena like hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, tornadoes, wars, and earthquakes.
All of these peoples have something in common, and that is they need HELP. And they need it BADLY. Failing to recognize this reality have caused human atrocities around the world that overtime, has created a cancer that is becoming un-manageable and more difficult to deal with.
Cases like Darfur-Sudan, the Iraqis that fled to Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and elsewhere, because they feared for their lives and livelihood.
These people are scattered everywhere around the globe, making it extremely economically difficult for the host countries to provide for them adequately. Becoming the targets for sexual exploitation, slavery, extortion, and kidnapping. Those countries that have internal conflict in an ongoing basis, are more likely to have large numbers of their population flee to neighboring countries or states. Thus creating an immigration crisis, that allows the host country's inhabitants to target these unlawful arrivals as the source of their troubles.
Remember the Zimbabweans and other nationals that fled to South Africa, created little enclaves for themselves, sought employment to provide for themselves, and eventually being beaten and killed when that country's economy, employment opportunities, and social services begun to sag under the financial weight of these new and illegal arrivals/refugees.
Solutions:
The United Nations have an agency that deal with this phenomena. But this agency is terribly under funded, under staffed, and does not have the military and political support it needs to address the needs of these peoples everywhere. And some of the host countries that are recipients of these refugees take advantage of them in ways that contradicts their pledge to uphold the principles For Human Rights everywhere, to which they have agreed to uphold.
