U.S. Considering Refugee Status For Hondurans

Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.

If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.

Critics of the plan were quick to pounce, saying it appeared to redefine the legal definition of a refugee and would only increase the flow of migration to the United States. Administration officials said they believed the plan could be enacted through executive action, without congressional approval, as long as it did not increase the total number of refugees coming into the country.

By moving decisions on refugee claims to Honduras, the plan aims to slow the rush of minors crossing into the United States illegally from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, which has overwhelmed the border this year. More than 45,000 unaccompanied minors from those three nations have arrived since Oct. 1, straining federal resources to the point that some agencies will exhaust their budgets by next month, the secretary of Homeland Security has said.

How the heck are they refugees?

This is Obama getting back at Honduras for having opposed him when he tried to impose a crazy Marxist usurper on them. They fought back and the result was that they were excluded from international trade treaties, the OAS, and a host of other forms of aid. That’s why Honduras is so poor, and now Obama is rubbing it in by calling these people “refugees.”

That said, how can he simply declare this?

There are 196 nations. Why just Honduras? Let’s just let in all the vermin since US legal status has no meaning?

This is actually an excellent point - the skinny pice of $hit isn't above trashing the USA to get his petty revenge. We've seen that over and over again.

This is treason. The criminal underworld is in charge . Honduras has the highest murder per capita rates in the world. They are a narco nation. Obama has repeatedly placed our nation at risk of terrorists he enables.
