LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (AP) — Five years ago, Alexis Llanos and his family fled Venezuela for Colombia, escaping death threats and political persecution. The family then planned to make the dangerous and deadly journey north, through the Darien jungle leading through Panama, with hopes of eventually crossing illegally into the United States.
Their plans changed when a friend mentioned a new migration program from the U.S. government that would allow them to stay put while they pleaded for a chance to come legally. It worked. After a four-month process that included medical exams and interviews with the United Nations and the U.S., Llanos, his partner and their 7-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy arrived in Florida.
“It was a unique opportunity, a miracle that God prepared for me,” said Llanos, 27, during an interview with The Associated Press from his new home. “I feel blessed, grateful. ...

Ping.
“After a four-month process that included medical exams and interviews with the United Nations”
“with the United Nations”, makes the process disqualified in my book.
That caught my eye too. WTF is the UN involved for??
The article is vague, but it seems this new process brings the illegals here legally as "refugees."
"Jefferson Castro...said he was threatened by police" and became a refugee.
That is one mighty low bar. What's next? The police gave him a speeding ticket?
I think it all boils down to a basic core question:
What is a country?
Is it just a weird shape drawn on a map? Some sort of line that outlines its control.
Or is it a people? A people with a certain makeup, belief system, language, culture and history that have a political system to work for them.? Furthermore if you moved all Japanese from Japan and replaced them with all Somalis and their associated religion, customs, warlords etc is it still Japan?
Clearly Biden (or his handlers) believe it’s the first. So do Marxists I might add.
And we are being replaced.
Free Republic is the first place I heard of this.
