Where is that definition? I cited sources, so surely you can too.
Clearly they got a visa, so were sufficiently able to demonstrate the certificate of employment and bank statements. No part of the definition of "refugee" requires they be penniless and unemployed.
Which law are they breaking?
Again, why do you know they lied? Do you have evidence?
And, does it matter? Obrador has said Mexico will grant asylum status to Ukranian and Russian refugees. https://fronterasdesk.org/content/1760627/mexico-says-its-prepared-accept-ukrainian-refugees https://fronterasdesk.org/content/1760627/mexico-says-its-pr...
And the US has no restrictions on accepting refugees that have already been granted asylum elsewhere, excepting when there's an Asylum Cooperative Agreements. (The law is at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-208/subpart-A/section-208.4 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/... .) And there is no Asylum Cooperative Agreement for this situation.
So, flee to Mexico with a tourist visa, request asylum, get accepted. Travel to the US. Cross the border. Request asylum.
I've cited my sources showing every step appears to be legal.
What is your goal in continuing this conversation? Keep Ukrainian refugees out of the US? Learn more about international refugee law?
- yucky 5y ago>Obrador has said Mexico will grant asylum status to Ukranian and Russian refugees That's wonderful news, so it sounds like this is a moot argument. There is no reason for them to request asylum in the US now. This is a problem solved :)
