americans have quite. a hostile, xenophobic attitude to people not born there I think.
in nz you can become naturalised and choose to be a citizen. But it was not always so. We had dawn raids where islanders were targeted for overstaying by the police, even though those from other countries were not.
most people generally dont like outsiders and always assume people arriving will take over cos they never take the time to get to know them or their reasons for coming.
its very big thing to leave your home country and set up a life for yourself and your family, who wants to live in a refugee camp all their life and never have a home. NOBODY.

what people dont undertand about refugees is, the exile could last MANY MANY years. its not just a couple of months and then ok you can go now.
in that time people are born and people die, and life goes on. famines and wars dont just blow over and everything back to normal after maybe a genocide!!!
people STILL wanted to kill Jesus after he came back from Egypt. And that was years later.
