A refugee is someone who crosses a border to safety

a migrant is someone who crosses more than one.

I read this quote yesterday, and although its harsh, I can see some logic in it.

This whole thing is breaking my heart though. It's f**king horrible. The attitude of some people disgust me. aaarrgghh.
