Migrants and refugees who are children must be looked after under the law, and protected from marginalization and exploitation, the pope said.

Pope Benedict made this remark while speaking before his Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican on Sunday, World Day of Migrants and Refugees.

The Pontiff urged the different migrant and refugee communities to participate fully in the life of society and the Church while preserving the values of their culture of origin.
