18 months to leave? WTH what's wrong with 6 months?
Yeah, I was thinking the same: Why so long? It doesn't take 18 months to get your affairs in order. Then I read that one guy got a $300,000 loan for a business and I thought, "Well, it might take that long" but you know what? They set up camp here thinking it was going to be permanent despite the word "temporary" in their status.
On the one hand, I do feel a little bad for them because I think politicians of the past have led them to believe that even though it said "temporary", it was understood not to be so. With that, many of them built a life here, like that one guy with the business that I read about.
On the other hand, we can't help everyone in the world. We simply cannot. We gave them a place when their country was a mess due to natural disaster or some other reason, but now it's time to go back. This country will crush under the weight of "helping" if we allow every single person on this planet with a sob story to come here and stay here. We can't afford it. We don't have the resources - natural resources, especially. You cannot pack more people into an area than resources can provide for, yet we keep doing it, and we keep having disastrous results.
So, bye. Time to go home. Build your business there. And do something in your own country to make it better. Running away doesn't solve anything.

What's the point of trying to start a business in a country where you won't have any customers because no one has any money?
Because liberal journalists would hop in their Toyota Prius and race down to a local Honduran neighborhood to flash pictures of crying Honduran families leaving America after overstaying their welcome for more than a decade.
Then publish it on the front cover of every newspaper.
