There is antiSemitism in the United States of America. Where do you not find it? Now. if every time we are going to be frozen in place and give up 50.000 numbers on a powerhouse play. when there are 60 million people waiting to get into the United States on a casebycase basis. if they could stand face to face with one of our consular people and one of our people in the United States. they would hear what is a true refugeea true refugeenot someone who is just covered by a blanket and. when covered by the blanket. decides to stay in this place of hideous persecution for a year or 6 months. I did not say they were languishing there. I am saying they are there. I say change the definition of refugee and get it done as soon as you can so that you can remove the phrase "fleeing persecution." because you cannot be fleeing persecution and stay in the country that is persecuting you to get your affairs together. If you are a refugee. you are running. I think most people think of a refugee as "the hounds of hell are after you." And once you get to the country of first asylum. once you get to that precious land. you are no longer a refugee. You have sanctuary. You have refuge.

Refugees should be running from persecution and not staying in the country to get their affairs together.
