Are you living in the same house you were born into, in the same neighborhood. Have you ever moved from one city to another for school? for work? to be closer to family. Those actions are examples of the migration impulse. America, during and after the civil war had the same internal movement across state lines. The EU is to new to have a coordinated response, process, or policy. The Vatican, is offering to aid in that discussion based on experience.

What needs to happen is to acknowledge that anyone who isn't "native born" to any location is not evil. And so the acknowledgement that the impulse of migration is not an aberrant impulse. The Scalabrini's work goes back to WWII in their founding to serve those who are "displaced" by war and those who are recovering. Language is important. Secretary Carson got into trouble calling slaves in the bottom of ships -- immigrants. Nor would I call such migrants either.

The Scalabrini's have a huge body of work and network worthy of support.
