It is like dealing with the emotional issue of agent orange. dioxinyou can hear that argument too. It goes: What were we going to do?" It is a troublesome problem and we have to use sound medical and scientific evidence and we are just not there yet. whether we like it or not. and we are sure not here yet when we have an INS person and a process of personal inventory and review and personal visits with people in any language where they sit a person down. a live human being. and say "Heres a map of Laos or Vietnam. Where were you at that time of your life that you say that qualified you for refugee status?" I have sat in on those and people will look and say "I dont know." "Maybe you dont read a map. so I will not ask you that. What village do you come from?" "I dont know that either." "Where did you live. who did you know?" "I dont know that either." No ties at all. No obligation at all to this country.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that refugees are unable to provide basic information about their past, implying they are being dishonest about their refugee status.
