I feel bad for the increasing number of commenters from around the world who are appealing to us to help them get into the US as refugees. People take a very long time to tell us their story, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do for them.
We are not an official agency we just comment on the issue of refugees and from time to time on immigration generally.
Note at our log-in we have posted this disclaimer yet we still get appeals for help:
We are not a refugee resettlement agency, do not appeal to us for assistance in getting in to the US!
At one point I was advised by the US State Department to forward those appeals to WRAPS, but then we started getting form (robo?) e-mail responses telling us that they couldn’t help. So I stopped forwarding to them.
It seems to me that the State Department ought to have a published e-mail address for poor people (with computers) to send their appeals.
And, while they are at it, the State Department and the Office of Refugee Resettlement need complaint hotlines (something we have long advocated) for refugees and citizens to log complaints about refugees that have been left in a lurch.
