The key difference between a refugee and an immigrant is that a refugee is seeking (temporary) asylum while an immigrant wishes to adopt another country as their permanent home and assume a new national identity for themselves and their progeny. The US has a long history of accommodating both classes at levels far beyond those offered by any other country on Earth.

But there are limits on our capacity to absorb non-indigenous population and both of these categories are privileges, not rights. We've completely lost sight of these distinctions and limits in the debate.

Refugees need to go to the next country over, or as close to that as can happen.

Refugee should not mean moving to the white world’s greatest cities.
