The bad news for illegals: Even if you qualify as a “refugee,” winning an asylum case in federal court is difficult under current law. The good news: The guy in charge right now isn’t a stickler about legal procedure. And besides, the “refugee” label is more of a political weapon under these circumstances than a legal one. It’s one thing to turn a blind eye to illegal immigrants streaming across the border, but who could be so hard-hearted as to deport a “refugee”?
Don’t fret much about the label, though. Most of these kids will never report to their immigration hearing once they’re released by the Border Patrol, so whatever you call them, they’re here to stay.
United Nations officials are pushing for many of the Central Americans fleeing to the U.S. to be treated as refugees displaced by armed conflict, a designation meant to increase pressure on the United States to accept tens of thousands of people currently ineligible for asylum.
Officials with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees say they hope to see a regional agreement on that status Thursday when migration and interior department representatives from the U.S., Mexico, and Central America meet in Nicaragua. The group will discuss updating a 30-year-old declaration regarding the obligations nations have to aid refugees…
Most of the people widely considered to be refugees by the international community are fleeing more traditional political or ethnic conflicts like those in Syria or the Sudan. Central Americans would be among the first modern migrants considered refugees because they are fleeing violence and extortion at the hands of criminal gangs.
A special new category of refugee, now conveniently available for amnesty shills in the United States to argue that illegal immigration should continue unimpeded for humanitarian reasons.

Since we're talking "what if," why not declare war on Guatemala, Honduras and Guatemala, and treat them as enemy aliens.
You beat me to it. Plus let’s cut off the money. No funding, no UN.
-------------------------------->
Because they aren't.
RE: Treat them as refugees and send every one of them to other nations
Which ones though?
The USA took the bulk of Vietnamese refugees in the 1970’s.
Perfect! And he can accompany them with his own sorry ass.
What the UN means is USA declares these people refugees. If they are refugees Mexico is obligated to care for them and not just keep their trains running them to Texas.

These "folks" are invaders and afflicting our nation - sounds like an invading army.
A Children's Crusade against America.
Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador are invading nations.
100% agree.
What you said.
Send the refugees to the loud mouths at the U.N. who are telling US to keep them.
I believe it is time to make the UN a bunch of refugees.
So if we classify them as refugees then does that mean we can round them up, put them in tent cities, and have the UN feed them?
These illegals are not refugees, they are a Trojan Horse.
Based on that definition we could have refugees from the south side of Chicago, Compton and east LA, Oakland, New Orleans, etc., etc.
federal court ,remember Obama has the worst Lawyers in the world
Okay. Let’s treat them like Jordan treats Palestinian “refugees.”
They’re not refugees. They were invited. The are being picked up by DHS buses. This is planned. They are invaders.
