you need to view refugee status like being in an emergency room full of sick patients. everybody's there to see a doctor; everybody's sick. of course, you want to see the doctor first - everybody does.

the hospital has staff there to triage you, which has access to the information required to do so.

when patients start trying to push their way ahead of the others, how do we treat those patients? depending on how disruptive they are, we're going to criminalize that behaviour - and we should.

likewise, we should not give in to people that try to ram their way through the system - that behaviour is criminal, and it should be criminalized.
