      I think that last part destroys any claims to asylum they might try at the border. Any true refugees would need to accept the first offer of asylum. Not go shopping for a new country.


      Migrant caravan members reject offer to stay in Mexico
      Under the "You are at home" plan, they would have received benefits if they applied for refugee status and stayed in the country's two southernmost states.

      ARRIAGA, Mexico — Several thousand Central American migrants turned down a Mexican offer of benefits if they applied for refugee status and stayed in the country's two southernmost states, vowing to set out before dawn Saturday to continue their long trek toward the U.S. border.

      Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced what he called the "You are at home" plan, offering shelter, medical attention, schooling and jobs to Central Americans in Chiapas and Oaxaca states if they applied, calling it a first step toward permanent refugee status. Authorities said more than 1,700 had already applied for refugee status.

      But after one of the caravan's longest days of walking and hanging from passing trucks, the bulk of the migrants were boisterous Friday evening in their refusal to accept anything less than safe passage to the U.S. border.

        Obviously you just hate brown people. No other possible explanation.

            One of my co-workers said that if you want to move to Canada you either have to have a job lined up or be willing to put a million dollars in the bank. Not sure if that's true but I told him a better way was to speak with a Spanish accent and say Meester Trudeau invited me.

              If you come through legally it's much harder to get work or housing or citizenship. If you come from Syria you are given status and housing and finances before you leave the airport.

              If you cross illegally at the border you are assimilated into "willing" communities until you can be processed.

              Take your pick.

                I will just end every sentence with "eh?" and tell them I was born in the Northern wilderness and raised by wolves so I don't have a passport but I identify as an Eskimo.

                  Not allowed to say "Eskimo".

                  Tell them you are Inuit instead and you should be good.

                    If I am an Eskimo I am allowed to call myself an Eskimo! And as I self-identify as one, I am covered.

                          My company occasionally does work in Canada, and we have to jump through a lot of hoops to prove that we're not taking work away from more deserving Canadian citizens.

                              We (the gas compression company for whom I worked) had an opportunity to do business in California, but quickly learned that if we had ANY footprint in California, THEY controlled our HR legalities for ALL locations.

                              I think that's worse than Canada.

                                But I thought we could just self-identify as anything we wished? Male/Female/Black/White/Cat/Dog
