(110,909 posts)A couple of vloggers crossed there and people were set up right at the border with goodie bags of water and snacks, diapers for the little ones, and hot meals for those who needed one. And despite their own strongman's rhetoric, nobody was asking anything about nation of origin or religion. All of this stuff was done by volunteers there, refugee organizations are just now getting geared up.
Western Europe hasn't always been great about refugees. This time they seem to have gotten the point.
I hope it's contagious.
