UN to U.S.: Why not treat these illegals crossing your border as “refugees”?
Hotair ^ | 07/08/2014 | AllahPundit

The bad news for illegals: Even if you qualify as a “refugee,” winning an asylum case in federal court is difficult under current law. The good news: The guy in charge right now isn’t a stickler about legal procedure. And besides, the “refugee” label is more of a political weapon under these circumstances than a legal one. It’s one thing to turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants streaming across the border, but who could be so hard-hearted as to deport a “refugee”?

Don’t fret much about the label, though. Most of these kids will never report to their immigration hearing once they’re released by the Border Patrol, so whatever you call them, they’re here to stay.

United Nations officials are pushing for many of the Central Americans fleeing to the U.S. to be treated as refugees displaced by armed conflict, a designation meant to increase pressure on the United States to accept tens of thousands of people currently ineligible for asylum.

Officials with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees say they hope to see a regional agreement on that status Thursday when migration and interior department representatives from the U.S., Mexico, and Central America meet in Nicaragua. The group will discuss updating a 30-year-old declaration regarding the obligations nations have to aid refugees…

Most of the people widely considered to be refugees by the international community are fleeing more traditional political or ethnic conflicts like those in Syria or the Sudan. Central Americans would be among the first modern migrants considered refugees because they are fleeing violence and extortion at the hands of criminal gangs.

A special new category of refugee, now conveniently available for amnesty shills in the United States to argue that illegal immigration should continue unimpeded for humanitarian reasons.

If we call them “refugees” what do we say they are refugees from? The failure of socialism? Central American countries have natural resources, there is no reason for these people to be poor other than being victims of a failed socialist state.

Better yet, send the un building to nairobi or kenya or somalia and then send the “refugees” there. Wonder how many of the trespassers will ever show up for their day in court. I’m guessin’ not too dang many.

An executive order on amnesty, as threatened, that isn’t quite an executive order, just a: “This is what the Fuehrer wants ...”-conspiracy, like the IRS oppression of the Tea Party.

I have a better idea. WHy not move the UN to Mexico City to better interdict the flow of these “refugees” and better serve them?

I am so tired of these third world hypocritical petty tyrants lording it over us at OUR EXPENSE!!!!!!

If we pulled our financial support, the UN would collapse!!!

Why the hell do we have to send hard earned US Taxpayer dollars to prop us this misfit assemblage of tin-horn dictators and rogue oligarchs????

Excellent. Set up UN refugee camps along the border to house them. Let the UN run and pay for these.
