 The Frontier: Phuebran Refugee Crisis  This week on 'The Frontier' we will be doing a report on the Phuebran refugee crisis and how it is reaching our nations shores. We will look at the impact this has had on regular Ametisinans and what the government is doing to combat the mass amounts of people who show up unannounced on our nations beaches, float into our nations ports and sometimes, sadly, die trying to reach them. We take an opinionated approach and we think that this is the way that people can form their own opinions by listening to the facts and the views of the author and use this to formulate how they see the world. We are the frontier of knowledge. This year alone 40,000 people have shown up on the shores of Ametisina and almost all of them are from the nation of Phuebra. Phuebra broke out into a horrible civil war between Buddhists and Muslims and the pain it has inflicted upon the people will take years and years to heal. The government of Ametisina never really responded to the crisis and chose rather to pretend it was not happening and continue with their own domestic policy agenda rather than trying to help those in need. It provoked cheers and boos from both sides of the political spectrum. The people that did show up were shoved into overcrowded buses and shipped to camps where they were forgotten. The men were mostly locked away in old prisons as if they had done something wrong by fleeing the violence in their homeland. The main argument against treating these refugees like normal human beings is that Ametisina is a "poor country" and that we should "put our own people above others" but this is coming from the same men and women who have allowed for the rich to steal from the poor and have seen the nations inequality rise faster than ever in our history. However, I do see the Socialist side of the argument in that we can not bridge the gap between rich and poor when government resources are being taken away from the poorest in our society and given to people who have had to flee another country. I also see that Ametisina is not a rich beacon of hope and prosperity like Rokkenjima or East Moreland or Achkaerin, Ametisina is a developing nation with it's own issues to solve before it has to solve those of other nations. Despite the strain it puts on the social and welfare aspects of the country it also puts a lot of pressure onto on the armed forces who have to go out to see everyday to rescue these people coming in their boats, some of which are built for going along rivers rather than across the ocean. This means that our already underpaid and overworked armed forces are facing even more stress as they deal with more and more refugees. Men and women are putting their lives at risk to help these people but they're losing the connection to their family and friends as they work 10-16 hours per day just to save the lives of these refugees. In conclusion my view is that it is not Ametisina's job to take in these refugees. We do not have the money or resources to do this and it's time for the bigger nations to step up to the plate again and do their duty. They can do real good rather than leaving innocent people in the predicament they are in right now in our nation. It is painful to say it but Ametisina is not a welcoming place if you're seeking safety from the destruction of your motherland. |
