Why not? That is the question!

Angelina Jolie is a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In her speech “Refugee system breaking down”, she says:

“Second, it is important to maintain the distinction between refugees and economic migrants. An economic migrant chooses to move in order to improve their lives or livelihoods. Refugees, have to move if they are to save their lives and preserve their freedoms. However difficult the situation economic migrants are seeking to escape, however understandable their motivation... there is no blanket human right to resettle in another country.”

    Why not? That is the question!
