  • Nobidys saying prosecute refugees before they’ve done anything wrong. Why would it be so outrageous and unthinkable to require any applicant basically participate in basically everything that ended up needing to be done anyway when this particular refugee was fighting his charges but front-load that and ensure that anyone we take in is not only sized up but also supported to get them up to speed and compatible with an entirely different society/expectations? If all these things and this whole case writ large comes down to medical, it could have easily been the price of admission if the system gave a fuck about doing no or least harm

    Am i sounding like im on crazy pills here? Like, those things you said we have to trade only need apply to whoever is a citizen and is not a discretionary matter in terms of acceptance or having to account for. Refugees are or should be 1000% discretionary, they are a luxury that ostensibly only rich societies can accomodate and its sort of disingenuous to conflate them with citizens in that way. Who’s going to sue in what forum if we are intellignent and do the very least of the laziest due dilligence and give enough of shit that we dont just set a cultural alien loose in an alien society where they are basically already teed up to fail before anything has even been done for everyone to adjust safely
