"Dear friends, the reality of migration should never only be seen as a problem, but also, above all, as a great resource to help humanity along its path," the pontiff said, noting that Sunday was the annual World Day for Migrants and Refugees.
Speaking to pilgrims at the Vatican in his regular Sunday address, the Pope cited U.N. data saying there are 200 million economic migrants in the world as well as nine million refugees, two million international students and many more displaced in their own countries or immigrants without legal status.
