Immigration Bonds for Refugees
There is a major difference between a refugee, an immigrant, and an illegal immigrant, both legally and genuinely. It’s easy to get each confused. What adds to the confusion is that each country treats refugees differently, and each country defines the term differently. So, are you looking for immigration bonds for refugees or illegal immigrants?
An immigrant is a person who legally enters and then lives in a country that is not their birth place for an extended period.
An illegal immigrant is a person who leaves their home country, and enters and dwells in a different country for an extended period.
A refugee is a person who flees their country against their desires because of persecution, who then takes asylum in a country that is different from their home country.
Why discuss the difference? Because the devil is in the details. We are an immigration bondsmen in Fort Lauderdale, specializing in same day release. When dealing with the government on sensitive issues like this, it’s important to understand the differences.
The U.S. only accepts certain refugees from certain countries, but if you are considered a refugee in the United States, you will be welcome legally and you will not be detained at all.
If you consider yourself a refugee, but the U.S. government does not, you may be detained as an illegal immigrant.
Though the list of countries that are given refugee status by the U.S. is constantly changing, here is the most up-to-date version as of May 2017:
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- Burma
- Ukraine
- Eritrea
- Cuba
Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Iran are no longer given refugee access to the U.S. and they will be detained if they enter illegally.
