U.S. Considering Refugee Status for Hondurans

That means: you don’t have to “go through” Mexico any more.  What fun!

U.S. Considering Refugee Status for Hondurans

by Frances Robles and Michael D. Shear

Hoping to stem the recent surge of migrants at the Southwest border, the Obama administration is considering whether to allow hundreds of minors and young adults from Honduras into the United States without making the dangerous trek through Mexico, according to a draft of the proposal.

If approved, the plan would direct the government to screen thousands of children and youths in Honduras to see if they can enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds. It would be the first American refugee effort in a nation reachable by land to the United States, the White House said, putting the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises.

Oh joyous day.  A more direct route.

I have a great idea: why not refugee status for Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.

Why not all of Central and South America?

Why stop there?  Choose another continent and let’s enable refugee status for those nations as well.  Except, of course, those countries who have Evil Caucasoids.  They can stay the hell at home.
