Migrants deserve solidarity and mercy

At a Mass on Friday Pope Francis prayed for the victims of mass migration.

He said: The only reasonable response to the challenges presented by contemporary migration is solidarity and mercy. Governments must be less concerned with political calculations and more with an equitable distribution of responsibilities.

Many of the poor are  trampled on today.
How many of the poor are being brought to ruin! All are the victims of that culture of waste that has been denounced time and time again, including migrants and refugees who continue to knock at the door of nations that enjoy greater prosperity.
