This conversation has more than a few issues to chew on.
- If high income inequality is criteria for claiming refugee status, then much of the US qualifies to claim this to relocate elsewhere.
- If violence is criteria for claiming refugee status, then much of Chicago, Baltimore, etc. qualifies to claim this to relocate elsewhere.
- "focus on local", true, zero conversation on impact to "local". It seems #1 priority in governance is foreign issues.
And then there is bigger general problem, no definition of "temporary". Likely this needs to be defined, because there's nothing "temporary" about 20 years. Honestly, if country is not able to accept citizenry back, then there needs to be a time limit when a TPS person is transitioned to a citizen.
And then there's the upper level issues: countries who have NO plan to accommodate those they invite AND escaping violence versus cherry pick relocation: US, England, etc. (Mexico? Belize? etc.)
Lastly, "they have houses, cars, [etc.]", irrelevant.

Only one Clang! , in this excellent conversation: "Monopoly" capitalism. We either have capitalism, or we have monopolies. Capitalism's essential justification is competition, and if there is no competition, there is no capitalism. What we have is oligarchy, who extract market ownership via bought legislation from the politicians. There is nothing Capitalism about that, it's corruption, for creation/benefit of oligarchy. And it sucked with it, from the political atmosphere, democracy.
Raise your hand if you voted to:
- give big (or little) business exemption to skate on the nation's billing of expenses, aka pay taxes
- give industry control over labor/labor market by simultaneously suppressing min wage and importing a labor glut to immobilize workers
- go global, offshoring production of almost all of our consumables, to the least green choice, the other side of the planet

@Shng275 When polled during primary for 2016, Bernie came out ahead of Trump and Clinton, so clearly the public don't buy the two parties' Socialism boogieman. A number of states don't let Independents vote in primaries, effectively eliminating the majority, Independents, 40% of voters.
No one is convinced not taxing the rich benefit's the public, so I don't know why you use that word. Politicians, both sides, do so.
The public have no control over who appears on the ballots, thus they're stuck with what the parties offer, donor 1% rubber stamped candidates.
Clinton seeded US middle class decline: NAFTA/China WTO, with the R's blessing.
