you missed my point do you know the criteria to be a refugee and the process it takes? How could he qualify, his mother and stepfather and stepsister were living in Indonesia and did they (step relatives)apply to be refugees also?
I don’t know how the grandparents arranged it. That’s the problem with Obama’s background. There are so many questions and no real answers.
Not to be a pill, but there is no stepsister. A step relative comes via marrisge, and has no genetic relationship to you (hence, stepmother or stepfather). That woman is his half sister, they have the same mother.
But your question is interesting, why was he a refugee and not the others.
