And how do you think the “proper and legal channels” should look like. Especially for people fleeing their homeland because of events happening there.
Now you’ve elaborated on the subject of immigration further than the original commenter. I’ll do my best to answer with the limited knowledge I do have.
By proper and legal channels I mean applying for a visa or green card through the USCIS. From what I know/understand a visa/green card can be obtained/applied for through Family Sponsorship, Employment-Based Visa Program, Humanitarian Program, and (I admittedly had to look this one up) the Diversity Visa Lottery which sounds like it’s for people from countries with low immigration to the U.S.
Now to more specifically answer your refugee question— I absolutely believe that these people should be allowed to come to the U.S. But like I said, legally. And heck, maybe even have their citizenship (if they so choose to become citizens) fast-tracked due to the extenuating circumstances from which they escaped from.
Thank you for taking the time to ask questions and try to understand my views and beliefs without vilifying me for it. It was a nice change of pace from the typical argument that usually happens.
Likewise. It’s kind of why I’m here. I got very irate with someone on Reddit a few days ago. Something I had not done in a very long time. But I said some things that I should not have that got me a permaban from Reddit. So here I am with a fresh mind, trying to be a better person.

Thank you for writing that down, seems fair enough to me.
Most people try to do it legally, if the option is there.

I’m trying to better myself, and not assume so much about other people.
