“We can withdraw from that BS treaty (Refugee Convention)”

That is a possibility, that should be examined. The treaty might also be amended/updated. Laws are often enacted that codify how we comply with treaties, so that would have to be researched for landmines as well.

But that might very well be a strong tool in the toolbox.
