Xena Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 1 hour ago, FlyFree said: Most of the people at the U.S./Mexico border are not refugees. They want to enter the U.S. because they want economic benefits. If they are truly refugees, let them return to their countries of origin, and apply for refugee status. You have no idea of how being a refugee works. Your ignorance is exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the new US administration wants to set in place a better system so that potential refugees from Central America can apply more easily from their home countries as well as from Mexico. https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-and-asylum/refugees Refugees Under United States law, a refugee is someone who:Is located outside of the United States Is of special humanitarian concern to the United States Demonstrates that they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group Is not firmly resettled in another country Is admissible to the United States The Refugee Process You must receive a referral to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for consideration as a refugee.

Ferret Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 She said "Being a refugee". So, you're living in a country that wants to kill you (political, religious or ethnicity) and you're in hiding. Do you really think that it's possible to do the correct thing and apply? You could probably be killed for even applying. Some of these people are desperate and taking desperate chances to look for a safe haven. You know... "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post videos that are fair and balanced. That video IS fair and balanced. And your sorry rehashing of the old "not entitled to their own facts" trope is baloney.

AndyPanda Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 You know what, folks? He's dragged this on for far too long and he is not paying attention, nor is he ever going to pay attention. No more from me. I have WAY better conversations to carry on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
