That has not been the case for our Afrikaner refugee friends, right? It appears that the United States government chartered a flight on their behalf, right? Once the refugees arrive, they are referred to a resettlement agency.

Some of the names people might be familiar with are like HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, who have literally been resettling refugees since the refugee and asylum seeker category was created as a response to the Holocaust. Maybe IRC is another one people are familiar with.

Yeah, the Tree of Life scene. People aren't familiar. Yeah, and that was at the time of the quote-unquote migrant caravan fall of 2018, would it?

Yeah, that was a pretty bleak time. I was in Tijuana a lot at that time with seeing the migrant caravan folks, interviewing folks, trying to help. Yeah, coming back to that, I remember thinking, like, what a fucked up world. So those people didn't get refugee admissions, right? Those people were here seeking asylum. The system right now is suspended, right?

As many as 12,000 people who have been approved are waiting for travel authorization to come to the United States. So they're completely in limbo, right?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, people spent 20 years in refugee camps waiting to be admitted to the United States. And like, it's hard for me to describe, I tried to in my Darien Gap series, right, how desperately sad refugee camps are as places, right? And I think people think of refugee camps as like, oh, you go there for a few weeks and you sleep under the big white tent.

Yeah, people live their whole lives in refugee camps. You know, the ones, the Thai Burmese border have been there since the 1940s. But they live their whole lives often without even basic essential services, right? I did see, for instance, HIAS had a little school in Las Blancas, which is one of these UN refugee camps in Panama.
