Refugees, Immigrants, Asylum Seekers ... Americans!

Do you comprehend the difference between a refugee, an asylum seeker, and an immigrant?

The first two seek safety from violence due to political strife, civil war, or religious persecution.
A refugee has left their country, but remains stuck in refugee camps in a second country for 3-7 years or more, before the third country accepts them.
A person who seeks asylum flees their home and arrives on the shores of the new country, seeking safe haven.
An immigrant leaves by choice to better their economic circumstances, not due to threat on their safety.

As we would wish others to help us if we were in danger, let us help those of the world that are in danger right now. The citizens of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, Congo, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria are just a few of the people that leave so that they can avoid torture, imprisonment, and death. Let America be kind and compassionate to those that need our help. We are a rich country and can afford to share our land and resources.
