We trained and equipped them. We asked them to fight with us. Now we deny them asylum because they risked their lives to do what we asked them to do. The Burmese. who are fighting a brutal regime. our government supports them. Many are refugees. But even though they have not been designated a foreign terrorist organization and our government supports them. they are inadmissible. There are cases of women and children threatened with torture and death and forced to provide food. shelter or become the sex slaves of members of terrorist groups. Our law bars them from asylum. We are giving them discretion.
