    If you can buy a plane ticket from Nigeria to NY, you’re not a real refugee. How long will this costly farce continue to destabilize our refugee system? The solution is to close the loophole in the treaty and immediate return these false refugees to the U.S.

    This dumbass. Refugees don’t have to meet some image you have in your head about what they are “supposed to” look like. There is nothing that says a refugee with money or nice clothes is not a refugee. Go read something.
