Florida is currently undergoing the largest evacuation in United States history
Millions of people are fleeing hurricane Irma ,the most powerful storm to ever make landfall in North America.
Now imagine if no other state would take them in.imagine if Georgia and Alabama built walls to keep them out
Imagine if we forced them to stay put and drown.
Sounds evil,right?and yet this is what we do every day all over the world from Mexicans fleeing the violence of the drug cartels, Syrians fleeing a civil war, Yemenis fleeing forced starvation, Palestinians expelled from their homes,to Rohingya fleeing genocide in Myanmar
We know in our hearts this is wrong.we know that if humans have rights at all,they have the right to flee certain death.we know this.it's time we started acting like it.
