Refugess - Yes we are obligated to help them who's fleeing from wars etc
But are we also obligated to help immigrants ? people who's not fleeing from wars etc

Problem is, we don't know who's a refugee and who's an immigrant.
Great example from yesterday, when our prime minister interviewed this 17yo Iraqi boy in the Refugee center of Oulu. The boy pleaded for our PM to help him.
Well.. turns out this 17yo boy actually turns 20 in November (he looks even older to me) and according to his facebook account, he left Iraq in 2012 and has been travelin all over Europe since then. Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and now Finland.
He switched his FB account to private earlier today, but the photos I saw there didn't exactly say "I'm a poor refugee".
Photos like this:
And this:
And the most upsetting part is that our media is virtually silent. MTV (who filmed the interview) has now removed the video, so they are well aware of it. Overall, the media in Finland has gone to full-on blackout when it comes to anything negative concerning refugees/immigrants.
