That They Come for Economic Reasons should not Disqualify Them

   They are coming for economic reasons, goes the argument, and not to escape persecution. So, why must we let them in? Nothing in the law allows them to come for economic reasons.

  Because a person can be seeking entry truly more for economic reasons yet it is the persecution that qualifies them. That you are economically deprived and that is why you want to come, does not erase the fact you are persecuted and that is why you qualify.
