International Football Federation President Gianni Infantino defended the hosts of the World Cup in Qatar, which begins Nov. 20.
If Europeans really care about the plight of migrant workers, they can create legal channels for these workers to move to Europe and get a better job. This lopsided moral lesson from Europe is simply hypocritical. We need to invest in helping these people, in their education and in giving them a better future and a better hope.
