Abstract
South Korea should welcome refugees from North Korea for legal and humanitarian purposes, as well as to put pressure on Kim Jong Il's regime and further the cause of Korean unification. Yet ironically, the current South Korean government—though comprised heavily of self-avowed human rights activists— seems crushingly indifferent to the desperate plight of the tens of thousands of North Koreans who have already escaped the Kim Jong Il regime, hiding in fear along the Chinese border today.
