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.
