You don't gain refuge by standing in the storm. What are we asking of these immigrants? Are we suggesting they to return to the storm, and shake their fists at the sky?
For, we do suggest that instead of coming to America, they should return and fix the problems of their own lands.
These are the poor and the needy, and we would ask them to stand up to the crime lords and the corrupt governments? Storms are more powerful than those who stand beneath, shaking their fists. Even so, that is about all the power they have against those crime lords and corrupt governments. If they stay in the storm, they will only get swept away.
If we know the meaning of refuge, we must see we cannot send them back into the eye of the storm. Screaming at the wind does not get you out of it. Shelter comes only from escaping the storm.
