Neither Hirsi Ali, nor the writer grew up in a refugee camp. She grew up in relative wealth and enjoyed reasonable education in Kenia.

A classic dillema, isn't it? She's no more than an economic refugee, in some circles known as a "leech" and she lied to be able to stay here, which is against the rules. But she's lived here for a long time and contributed to politics and she's respected at that position by many.
