They do. They have the legal right to apply for citizenship and go through the process just like everyone else if approved. The U.S. has plenty of homeless on our streets. Why not spend the money on them, instead of on people demanding entrance into the U.S. who refuse to assimilate
Climate Migrants Need Legal Rights
Over the past year, we’ve all seen the devastating images across America—and around the world—of people who have lost their homes, their livelihoods, to wildfires, hurricanes, or monsoon floods.
While many of them can rebuild, others aren’t, and are forced to pick-up, and leave.
They are the faces and stories of climate migration. An estimated 1.2 billion people will be displaced by climate-related events by 2050. That means that in less than 30 years, more than 1 out of every 8 people will have lost their homes.
Take a minute, and let that sink in.
You mean like always? That the ever changing climate of the Earth has caused movement.
The world is moving quickly, and with it, people are moving too. While mobility may be increasing worldwide, the sad truth is that the majority of migrants today find themselves fleeing because they have to, whether it’s due to violence, persecution, famine, poverty, or increasingly, climate catastrophes. When we say climate catastrophes, we don’t just mean sporadic natural disasters. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of storms, flooding, and droughts, as well as causing slower onset disasters like desertification and rising sea levels.
Blah blah blah.
In part, this is because climate change often exacerbates other push factors like poverty and might not be identified as the sole reason for displacement. There are also almost no multilateral treaties or domestic laws addressing climate displacement, meaning that people forced to leave their homes for climate-related reasons have limited legal options to obtain safe refuge elsewhere.
There are, however, concrete steps we can take to address this issue—advocates have called for a new policy architecture for climate migration that would provide those displaced by climate events with legal pathways to resettle somewhere safe.
Um, no. Just no. They’re just using ‘climate change’ as an excuse for more illegal immigration.
The Joseph Family Foundation has, since its inception, been rooted in authenticity, compassion, optimism, and morality; part and parcel of the hands-on aid that we bring to vulnerable communities across the country, and the world. As part of our mission to bring about positive change, we are seeking to raise awareness about forced migration due to climate change. By supporting the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)’s Climate Displacement Program, we hope to lend momentum to IRAP’s efforts to create a legal framework for climate-displaced families around the world.
I wonder if the Joseph Family, and the two writers who are the president and director of the foundation, are willing to take the “refugees” into their own homes and land?
I can’t think of anything more authentic, compassionate, optimistic and moral than stealing Americas heritage and giving it to invaders who have neither love nor respect for America. They may as well turn the country over to demofascists, commies, freaks and criminals. Oh wait, we already have! Fuck it then, let the aliens in.
No. They don’t. As the law exists now, no foreigner has a legal right to come to the USA. Even Asylum laws are based on cold war priorities that need to be ended entirely. There are 198 other countries on the planet that can take people in. Only Americans have a legal right to be in America. By the way, this is not an extremist view. It is the same view shared by all those other countries too regarding access to their own countries.
Of course, the biggest problem driving migration is the grinding poverty associated with overpopulation, tribalism, and third world standards of living. Obviously, ALL of them would like to come here if they could. America already has it’s own poverty-class not including the poverty-class we import from other countries. We don’t need more. Accepting a few million a year from Asia/Africa/Mexico and southwards does nothing to improve those conditions and only brings that poverty here.
