so, 100 people show up at the border and claim refugee status.

three are actual refugees. the rest are just americans looking for free health care.

what you want is a system that can quickly identify the legitimate refugees and process them appropriately and just as quickly deport the economic migrants. that is the actual problem we're dealing with: how to weed the worthy out and then quickly dispose of the worthless. and, how do you do that? well, you need better data collection, to start off with, and you need to be able to get it from the source countries. you need more judges. and, you need to be able to act quickly and decisively when you reject somebody.

so, what we need are ways to speed up the process, and the things outlined in the document should help us do that, if other countries facilitate it.

unfortunately, the country we're having the biggest problem with as a source - the united states - doesn't seem interested in participating. but, if the ideas get standardized, they should trickle down.
