"Like today’s refugees, they would undertake any means possible to avoid persecution and to protect their families."

And not only refugees. Whenever possible, when I hear a fellow American complaining about "illegal aliens" (typically Mexicans), I always ask what they would have done, had the situation been reversed and they only had the same one choice to feed and protect their family.

The answer is ALWAYS the same. Yes, they would do the same.

Thank you for sharing.
