      I know it’s equivalent is way more than the amount offered to go back.

      If you literally rushed your life to leave where you lived before, that sum is peanuts in comparison

        I was more thinking about a comparable monetary sum since it seems to be what you were critiquing.

          Oh well that’s not very regulated. Migrants get squeezed for every penny the have. They can pay up to 4000 dollars (in their local currency and earning level) but they have to dodge corrupt offcials, prostitution, extortion and ofc live threatening conditions.

          This article goes into more detail:

          34.000 is a lot of money in comparison, but if you go through what they went through you probably don’t want to get back.

            So they’re well compensated, so what’s the problem you mean? They aren’t forced to accept it…

              Interesting take.

                Heartwrenching stuff you got there, only it’s not what we’re discussing…
