Under international law, would the United States have an obligation to accept refugees from El Salvador or Guatemala if they would be safe if they stayed in Mexico?

Are they at war with someone ? Is the United States obligated to accept British refugees ?? I don't think so.

America cant be the lifeboat for all these people. If a lifeboat continuous to take on people, that the boat cant handle it capsizes and even the people trying to help drown.

Our immigration system and government help is beyond capacity.

Now is the perfect time to discuss with the governments of the countries they are from to stop them from coming.

I feel for these people but I am done with my goodwill being taken advantage of. America's hard earned way of life is eroding.

Illegal invaders ignoring the rule of law are not refugees.

They are not refugees.

They are illegally trying to cheat our immigration system and mooch off our tax payers.

They feel entitled to free things and are attempting to take advantage of our social programs while ignoring our laws.

No.
