What does this short interview tell us. One of the matters that struck me was the following: “(It’s)about human being and morality.” The PS has high morals? Hmmmm.

Imagine that civil war broke out in Sweden. Because of political persecutions, hundreds of thousands of refugees started pouring across the borders, also into Finland. The Finnish authorities do their best to set up camps, but the burden is massive, through no fault of the Finns. Is there anything to be done to solve the problem? Are the international community willing to help Finland in any way?

This was one of the key reasons for establishing the Convention and Protocols on the Rights of Refugees in 1951. The idea was to share the burden of such events among signatory countries. The other key development was that it enshrined certain human rights as being universal, and not simply applying to citizens of countries where human rights were recognised.

Imagine if we were to attack China for its human rights record and persecution of political opponents but then we say that if that dissident were to arrive in the West by way of trying to escape that persecution, that they would have absolutely no rights in the West either, and worse still, that we would send them back to China for the persecution to be perhaps intensified. The Chinese would simply say, well, you don’t even give these citizens any rights, so why should we? The refugee status gives the West the moral ground from which to try to improve human rights throughout the world. A noble cause? You decide.

On a practical level, it’s very easy for someone that has never crashed their car to argue that they shouldn’t have to pay any insurance. But it just makes sense to have some kind of insurance, especially if part of that insurance involves forcing car companies to make our cars with a certain standard of safety.

Explain how a displaced person seeks shelter in Finland without claiming asylum.

Weird thing all these refugees seeking shelted for persecution just went past many safe countries in their way here to the far reaches of Europe. They just wanted to travel longer just the fun of it? Or did these poor people take a jet?

Refugees should be in camps near their own countries so they could easily return back when the situation allows, there wouldnt be need for all kinds of “integration” efforts and living expenses wouldnt be that high. Taking refugees here just costs so much more it doesnt make any sense.
