So even though all these migrants were subjected to the same treatment only some of them are getting legal protections?
... so, even though all of these migrants were subjected to the same treatment, only some of them are getting legal protection?
Also, were all of these migrants told about the opportunity to apply for this special kind of visa? Or did the cops just pick and choose their favorites?
It's good to hear some people are getting visas, but allowing a criminally broken immigration system to just keep ruining peoples' lives and only fixing it for a small handful of them isn't justice.
Maybe I'm dumb but this seems to mean that not everyone applied. You can't get the thing if you don't apply for the thing.
Pretty hard to apply for the thing if you're not told about it and given the application. Were they all told about it?
