I believe that was a sarcastic addition to a sentence considered obviously true. Also seen in phrases like "it's almost like refugees are people!"

My point probably wasn't clear but is easier to make now....one of these sentences is always true, the other is not always true (but people like to pretend it is):

"Refugees are people."

"If you just give people money, they'll use that money to improve their current situation without guidance or meddling."
