Pope: Migration isn't a danger, it's a challenge for growth


Pope Francis, who was reunited Friday with one of the Syrian refugees he brought home with him from Lesbos, Greece, said migrants don't pose a danger to Europe's culture but rather a challenge for societies to grow. Francis responded by noting that his native Argentina is a country of immigrants, and that ending wars and poverty would trim migration flows. "Migration isn't a danger, it's a challenge to grow," he said, adding that European countries must not only welcome migrants but integrate them into society. "They bring to us a culture, a culture that is rich for us. After meeting with refugees, Francis flew back to Rome with three Syrian families, all of them Muslim, in a tangible sign of solidarity.
