Xenophobia

You are seated with your parents eating breakfast. Your dad is reading an article on his phone about the recent refugees Canada has been letting into the country. He scoffs and says, this country is always letting those aliens waltz right through our doors. All they do is steal our jobs and bring their country’s problems with them. We need to keep an eye on them. You don’t know what they’re capable of.

Question

What is your dad angry about? Where do you think these beliefs originated from? Look at things from the refugee’s perspective for a moment; what do you think was on their mind when they immigrated?
