Because nothing says β€œfestive spirit” like proposing a winter hardship fund for human traffickers. Yes, as refugees face exploitation, trauma, and violence, let’s all pause to shed a tear for the poor, overworked, underappreciated people smugglersβ€”those misunderstood seasonal workers of the suffering economy.

🎁 Compassion for Criminals: It’s What Santa Would Want, Right?

After all, smugglers are people too, bless their twisted little hearts. They’ve got families. They’ve got tiny future smugglers toddling around the camps learning how to coil rope and intimidate their first traumatised victim. And when the winter seas get rough and β€œbusiness” slows down, what are these poor lads supposed to doβ€”get real jobs? Outrageous.

No no, we must think of their livelihoods. If we stop the boats, how will these entrepreneurial predators put food on the table?

Maybe we should launch a Government Smuggler Stabilisation Schemeβ„’β€”a kind of festive furlough package to keep them afloat while they wait for warmer weather and more vulnerable women to exploit.

Bricklayers? Sure! Let’s have a couple of brickies clock some overtime to help build cosy winter huts for smugglers. Nothing too fancyβ€”just enough insulation to make sure they stay warm while deciding which refugee they’ll coerce next. It’s Christmas, after all. πŸŽ…βœ¨

We could even throw in a training programme:

β€œUp-skilling Smugglers: From Trafficking to Trades.”

A heart-warming tale of career transition: from ruining lives in a dinghy to ruining drywall in a semi-detached.

Because why tackle the root cause of exploitation, build safe legal routes, or dismantle criminal networksβ€”when we could instead pamper them like misunderstood seasonal elves?

Why are we living in a world where satire and reality are only a half-step apart? Why does the suffering fall on refugees while the profit flows to predators?
