How a refugee gets to America, explained by an actual refugee

How easy is it to get to America as a refugee? Many politicians, particularly governors of now 26 states, make it out to be a simple process — so simple that would-be terrorists could use the system to sneak in. But the journey is very extensive, involving many background checks from both UN and US agencies.

To demonstrate just how long the process is, Bosnian American Association of Iowa executive director Buljušmić-Kustura Arnesa, a refugee, tweeted out her own family's journey. It's a long read, which should tell you a lot about how the system works.

Also, let's keep in mind that this is the process in the US, only... Some asylum seekers don't even have the money to do any of this... So they choose Europe... A couple months ago, in August, they found a truck in Austria, with 71 Syrian bodies... They died of suffocation, while they were being transported by people who make a business out of the desperation of these human beings, who are willing to take risks, because they have to take chances, because there is no other way out...

If you feel the need to downsize what these people go through, or claim that they are taking advantage of the situation, while typing in the comfort of your home, you are free to inform yourself on the internet... There are endless tragedies surrounding these cases

But I'm only a man and I do what I can.

Educate them. This is such a long grueling process. 

Daesh has clearly the time and will make an effort to get all the fake documents and fake brothers and sisters to confirm their story etc etc..:neyde:

Of course, it's not like they could easily smuggle people into the country or don't have sleeper cells waiting :neyde:
