Thanks, @think-liberty. I'll add FIRE to my list of research content. Did not know about that. Been looking into UN international law surrounding the "migrant crisis" and, although it's not real complex, the terminology is purposefully broad. For example, they use terms like these to qualify people as potential asylum seekers: persecuted, poverty, climate change and conflict.

These same 4 terms have been re-used in reports on the migration issue. The exact 4 criteria appear in articles and on UN and/or EU websites. Every single one of these could apply (and do) to the USA. Just look at the migrants pouring into Canada by the thousands. And the clever part is that these things are fluid and will always occur - especially "climate change." So, by those standards, the problem is never going to be fixed. Therefore we will need to take in illegal immigrants in perpetuity!

The quote with the criteria can be found on the third line, under the title, "Mission."

The internationalists in power regularly do this kind of thing. They bend, break and create new laws at their leisure. But, knowing that is powerful, in and of itself.
