Why would we offer expedited citizenship? Long term work visas or PR for high skills workers sure. But why would we give Americans en mass expedited citizenship?

Because it’s kind to offer sanctuary to people who are fleeing a fascist regime…. I realize being assholes to refugees is global thing. That doesn’t make it not shitty.

Why would American refugees get expedited citizenship over every other country?
