If you don't like refugees invading your country, stop voting for politicians that invade and bomb the shit out of their countries.

I'm a war refugee who fled from Lebanon 12 years ago. The only airport in the country had been bombed by Israeli airstrikes; we watched it burn from our house. Canada's refugee program helped us escape by boat. My family and I are now proud Canadian citizens.

Today is
#WorldRefugeeDay, a reminder we must speak up for those most vulnerable at our borders in the US and around the world. As the daughter of a refugee, I know we can do better. -
Never forget how many of us are Americans because our ancestors came fleeing war, famine, religious persecution & other hardships. They believed America was where they could build a better life for their families. It will be a sad day when that’s no longer true.

Refugees coming to our country have left everything they’ve ever known to seek a better life and the right to live peacefully with their families. In L.A. we stand with refugees and we welcome them — because those are the American values we embody in our city.

Any of us could have been a refugee. We were born where we were born by circumstance, luck. Refugees didn’t choose their life (in some cases war, famine). They did choose to do what they felt was best for their family, probably exactly what you or I would do.

I must say that Albanians are one of the most merciful people I ever met. They used to say: “You are a refugee, our refugee, and it is a sin for us to charge you for anything or to deny you any help you need!”

My family was put into refugee camps during the wars of Cambodia and Laos in the 1970s. Knowing what went on in those camps, I can’t imagine going through the pain and suffering like they did. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here.

I was once separated at age 7 from my father while fleeing war in Bosnia. My mother and I ran into him weeks later by pure chance at a refugee checkpoint (this predated cell phones..), and the reunion was something out of a movie. (1/2)

We don’t have to look past our southern border to see people seeking sanctuary. We can’t betray our common humanity. We must remember that welcoming those who are different & learning from them makes us a more tolerant, more vibrant & stronger society.

1. A foreboding
#WorldRefugeeDay, and not just because 68.5 million displaced people is the highest since WWII. Our president & his allies have made clear that they will never stop lying about refugees and asylum seekers for perceived political gain.Show this thread
