I'm really baffled by the media willingness to replace the terms 'immigrants' with 'refugees' or 'illegal' with 'undocumented'. Scandinavian countries are well know for their permissive, liberal attitude towards immigration. If the government concluded that the Russian family are not refugees then they can't expect to be treated like ones. It's very sad to hear stories of the children involved in the process of deportation but their parents are the first to blame. The media are doing everything in their power to shift the blame to the governments rightfully refusing to accept people who do not legally qualify for a refugee status. Same with German Chancellor pointing fingers and offending European governments who wanted to respect the treaties all members had agreed on and signed. If this is the new order, where does it take us? What do we need laws for if they can be waived at the will of a politician or a media outlet?
