Hello BDC Community, today I want to talk to you about a topic that should be of interest to everyone and not only for those who live the process of migration, I think that with so many social and political changes that we live today, there are many situations that depending on how we face them can have a positive impact or not.

Around the world there are social upheavals, political crises, environmental changes, some more recent than others, that have generated the massive movement of people from one place to another, some have been forced to leave, others have done it by their own will, but thousands of people in the world have left their countries of origin, and believe me, almost all of them have done it looking for a better life than the one they left behind.

This flow of people for a reason of political, social, economic or ethnic conflict, can be classified by the UN as a migratory crisis or even qualify this group of people who migrate as refugees. What is certain is that each country can define its migration policies, and decide what steps must be taken to enter beyond its borders, each country will protect its nationals in preference to foreigners.

What we must keep in mind in this troubled modern world, is that these conditions of immigration to a country should not be executed from the irrational discrimination, they must be applied based on the protection of human rights and freedoms of every human being. We must not lose empathy and compassion with the other who suffers and who has left his home, his country, and many times his family, to comply and apply a legal rule. We can comply with the law without mistreating the other, and without forgetting that perhaps at some point in life, we ourselves may be in the same situation.

I believe that respect and empathy for the other does not make us weak, on the contrary it makes us strong and allows us to help in a moment of need, it brings us closer to our most human side and moves us further and further away from conflicts, from the smallest ones to those big and illogical ones that destroy a country and an entire nation.
