Seems you might be confusing those two words. Migrants seek work, refugees seek refuge. And even then refugees under international law are limited to the nearest safe country. Last time I checked Mexico is doing rather well, thus any South American seeking refuge should stay in Mexico.
It seems you are getting it wrong.
Migrants relocate for various reasons - living conditions, conflict, economic..

Amazing how I give you the definitions and you still get it wrong.
If you flee a conflict zone you are a refugee.
How does one improve their living conditions and economic situation... you work. So when you move to another country for work it makes you a migrant.

Migrants and refugees are not the same thing.



You mean "illegally and thus untraceable"...



Illegals are traced and their Vax status monitored...and they are vaccinated? How, when and by whom?

Just some small, but important things I wanted to point out.
I was not referring to "illegals" who scurry under a fence and disappear into the bush without trace.
My reference was specific to those crossing thru formal border posts - as per the fox article.

So you migrated thru formal border crossings for residency purposes.
Any medical requirements to be met in terms of your residency?

I'm not getting it wrong you are simply unable to understand.
A refugee is one in a country who has already made border crossings.

The article is about migrants from South America entering the USA via formal border crossings and a tennis player with entitlement issues - also seeking to enter the USA via a formal border crossing

And I was correcting your use of the word migrant because your supporting statement was more the definition of of a refugee.
A migrant has no humanitarian need of entry into a country, nor are they escaping a conflict.

Frankly what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If the migrants are allowed to enter without vaccination then everyone should be able to come into the US without a vaccination. No matter whether they are walking from Chile or flying in on a private jet from Europe. All are equal under the law.
And if he cannot enter because he is not vaccinated then why not line everyone up at the southern border and give them the jab. Seems the best course of action, so they don't get COVID. But then they should also be checked for the MMR vaccine, and all the other childhood vaccines we all get. Seems the most prudent course of action, especially since they are coming from shithole countries (after all that's why they are leaving them aren't they?). Seems like a very humanitarian thing to do.

Ever since the Democrats regime under Biden became full blown communists, everything in the US has gone to the dogs. Probably even worse than here in SA.

So Djokovic should have crossed the southern border illegally then Texas could have shipped him off to sanctuary New York like they do with other aliens so that he could play.
