It has come to our attention that there is a broad movement
afoot in the media and in some Administration quarters to designate the
thousands of illegal alien children who have flooded into this country from Central
America as refugees
based upon claims that they are all fleeing from crime and poverty in their
home nations!
Refugee status? Let me
remind you that the term "refugee" for the purpose of this issue, is
a legal term which is specifically defined by Federal Regulation. These
regulations require that, to be classified as a Refugee based on past persecution, a person must establish
that he or she has suffered persecution in the past in their home
country based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular
social group, or political opinion (Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, §
208.13(b)(1)(iii)(A).
Additionally,
the Board of Immigration Appeals, the highest administrative appellate
authority for ruling on requests for asylum and refugee status in the U.S., has
already officially ruled that Honduran street children, who fear street crime,
or who are fleeing from poverty are not members of a social group eligible for refugee status.
We are deeply concerned based on the past free wheeling practices
of the Administration, that suggesting a
broad use of the term "Refugee" may be a foot in the door effort to
redefine eligibility for such status. Be forewarned.
