There is a general tendency among us to internalize the frequent reports of citizens fleeing from their country as asylum seekers to other countries. Every now and then we hear of how Sri Lankans flee to countries such as Australia as asylum seekers in the same manner. Micro-level solutions to the problem strictly work within the scope of national law, but hardly address the meta structural issues which actually condition people and compel them to do what they do. It is like covering a wound with a plaster, without actually treating it with antiseptic.
