I guess it got lost in the mumble. Seriously though, if it were that important, like the whole of the endless border fiasco, wall street would have demanded something be done.
Or Taiwan. For a hundred bucks extra you can ship your unaccompanied child to Taiwan to stay with “relatives” who never show up to claim them. I wonder what Taiwan would do if a thousand children from poor countries suddenly showed up at Taoyuan Airport seeking legal residency.
Probably treat them humanely and find a way to house and raise them. But you know that’s an easy argument to make because it’s based on a hypothetical that nobody can prove. TW doesn’t share any borders with anyone.
It’s actually happening now. Lots of young HKers seeking political asylum there.
“Those who do flee to Taiwan often face difficulties. Taiwan has no formal refugee law, so political refugees are unable to work legally. Many of the Hong Kong protesters, who are staying in Taiwan on monthly tourist visas, are so young they have not even graduated from high school — making them ineligible for longer-term student visas. An informal network of churches and nonprofits supports them financially, and a volunteer group of Taiwanese lawyers has pledged free legal consultation.”
What’s the discussion again? Immigrants bad? His whole ‘discussion’ is based on a strawman to begin with.
Then I pointed out you can’t compare TW to the US southern border for obvious reasons.
Then I put up a post. Then you replied with TAIWAN with a sticker next to it.
In any case, I do hope your surgery was a success, whatever it was.
Raise them? As in give them permanent residency with a path to citizenship? My extensive experience with Taiwan’s Ministry of Immigration says otherwise.
My guess is Taiwan would feed them and house them and then send them back where they came from.
While it’s at it Taiwan can open the floodgates to the one million Rohingya refugees fleeing persecution in Myanmar and the twelve million Uyghurs being persecuted by China.
