re: #371 HappyWarrior

I understand but she’s not saying the situations are the same but rather that those fleeing genocide were and allow to apply for asylum just as those fleeing political violence are.

afaik anyone can present themselves and request asylum.
doesnt mean they’ll qualify when they actually apply (port of entry requests are different)

- im getting a feeling we’re slowly creeping towards some idea of ‘pre-qualified’
- like unless certain things happened to them, or they were subjected to, which legitimized their journey, they dont even have the right to be on the other side of the border
