ORIGINAL: KenDckey I would say that it is within the realm of possibility that most illegals are refugees from something - gangs, cartels, retribution, corrupt government, etc. The ddifference is they didn't appoly for refugee status. That being said, illegal is still illegal so send them back to their home country or some country that is willling to take them in. I haven't kept up on the current status of relevant countries, but I'm pretty sure that our government has to officially recognize the situation in another country in order for someone to be able to apply for refugee status. As we are officially "friendly" with most Latin American countries, they do not have the option of applying for refugee status. For example, despite the fact the Mexico has engaged in a poorly waged war on the cartels since 2008 and that it's resulted in the deaths of countless Innocents, there is no refugee option for them trying to escape it as our government hasn't officially recognized the situation, lest we harm relations with Mexico. Apparently the offense it would cause them would be too great. Which is ludicrous.
