It appears to me that the authors are arguing that the rest of the world - presumably meaning the Western world - has an obligation to recognize and address the social rights of refugees. This will be a hard sell when a country like Canada believes these rights don't apply to its own citizens. We don't guarantee our citizens access to employment, housing, income adequate food or just about any other economic necessity. Even access to adequate health care is in many aspects constrained. So, it seems a pipe dream to imagine that Canadians are willing to fork over the money to provide refugees greater economic security than is afforded ordinary citizens and residents in this country.
