>easy path to citizenship in the West
Since when the U.S. providing free citizenships to the countries in need of help?
- pelario 6y agoNot saying I agree with parent, but: i) "The west" is much bigger than the US ii) Right of political asylum has been "a thing" for a long while, specially for people fleeing authoritarian regimes.
- swarnie_ 6y agoA) Its not really a US problem, its a UK one. B) The US isn't exactly a hot ticket item at the moment. How many armed riots y'all had this year?
- PhantomGremlin 6y agoSince when the U.S. providing free citizenships to the countries in need of help? Since its inception. It may not be immediately apparent, but immigration to the USA was routine in its history and is still very common now. For example in the late 1970s we accepted refugees from Vietnam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_boat_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_boat_people In the early 1980s we granted citizenship to illegal aliens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control... and new President Biden wants to do it again. In the 1990s we allowed many Somalis to immigrate here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_American There are countless more examples, old and recent.
