Populistit esittävät #Uusintahakemukset ”tehtailuna”.

#Turvapaikanhakijat #Pakolaiset #Politiikka
Lukijan mielipide | Turvapaikan uusintahakemus voi pelastaa hengen
Uusintahakemukset ja valitusprosessit ovat keskeisiä menettelyjä turvapaikanhakijoiden oikeusturvan kannalta.

As the shutdown of the US Federal government is nearing, Federal workers explain that many programs have already been shutdown as tax cuts went to the billionaire class.
