Dignity without a passport
A border does not change the worth of a person.
Where someone was born, the accent they have, or the papers they carry do not decide their dignity. A person is not worth less for crossing a border or needing help.
It is possible to speak of laws, order, and prudence without losing the human face. The problem begins when a category conceals the concrete person.
The Christian view recognizes the child of God first. From there one can seek justice without letting fear harden the heart.
Key idea
Human dignity does not depend on country, situation, or origin.
Your challenge for this idea
