Didn't say the world doesn't. Besides, those invisible borders don't say shit about the humanity of people on either side and they serve a ton of important purposes that don't involve thinking your folk are better than their folk. So, having words like refugee and immigrant really doesn't say shit about whether people care more if refugees die than if domestic people die. You keep asserting that I have feelings I don't have and then using shite arguments like this to back it up. "The world says refugee, so you must like your neighbors more than you like people from other countries." What?

No. You can think all you want about how people behave, but you don't know me well enough at all to assume how I will behave. You'd like to think everyone wants to keep refugees out like you do, but it's not true. I'm married to an immigrant. I'm descended from immigrants. They're all just different folk from different places, right? Why would I feel different about refugees? Also, it's gross that you'd rather leave people to die than take a little risk.
