I’m glad Now This is doing this. The term and concept of being a refugee has lost its sense with the US’s mess at their southern border.

I bet you won't open your home Liza

It means that you are displaced from your true home in a country where the people have granted you asylum but may not really want you there ?

Guys, do not use Liza Koshie. She doesn't really have a good reputation on YouTube.

Being a refugee means you have nowhere to go because apparently you aren't allowed to go to other places because that somehow hurts the people that aren't refugees... The real victims🤦🏿‍♂️
