Please help, I am sorry about your brother. If the government is concerned about the identity of an asylee/refugee (one who has been granted asylum or admitted to the U.S. as refugee), and therefore the safety of its citizens, doesnt it make sense that the government would do a thorough background check before the applicant is granted asylum or admitted into the U.S. as refugee since these statuses are indefinite and potentially permanent? I honestly wish the US can make a decision on how to resolve the immigration crisis, and not keep changing ,and dismantling policies with every administration. erie obituaries for the past week, soledad, california 1930s, Say marriage equality or situations related to non-binary people be searching for community!
