The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You're conflating "asylum seeker" with "refugee". Asylum seekers are not refugees and are not treated as refugees.

======================

OK, you got me there. Here is from the post you are crushing with your laser logic...

"Refugees, people who have been granted asylum or withholding of deportation/removal, and conditional entrants;"

I should have used the term "people who have been granted asylum" instead of the word "refugees".

But that still doesn't negate the point that Biden has reclassified what used to be called illegals, as "people who have been granted asylum". That allows him to claim the illegal problem at the border has been solved by semantics. That also allows these "people who have been granted asylum" to be eligible for benefits.
