There are different kinds of refugees. The Bible teaches on hospitality. But the refugees situation of today were deliberately created as Islamic agenda to invade nations. Christian attitude primarily is to bombard them with the gospel while rendering the help. Make deciples of them.

That is what they call the Trojan horse. The moment you pass a non war country they are no longer a refugee but a migrant. How will you pick out those who are the true refugees?

Maybe not in my abode but I will accommodate them.
