Apparently they just purged ICE leadership and replaced them with people from Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection. The imperial boomerang is about to hit harder.

    I suspect this is mostly because refugees try to flee somewhere that they speak the language.

    It’s still so wild that a country of 1 billion people only received 78 refugee applications in a whole year. In comparison India got >3000 applications last year.

    Wherever you’re from, whatever language you speak, you will be able to find some small diaspora in a country so large.

    Either something is not right with the data or there’s something else going on. Maybe China has some different asylum/refugee process that’s easier?
