Wouldn't it be better if they just became automatic US Citizens. Its 60K people. Don't think it would matter much in USA with that number relocating here.
IIRC there is a special fast track system specifically for people part of Compact Free Association islands. Though yes, just giving them citizenship would be better. Fun fact, there is already a large Marshallese population in Arkansas.
Oh wow, had no idea about that. Yea, definitely got enough space for them considering how big USA is. I just googled it and its 3 countries: the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), andRepublic of Palau.
Marshall is 60K pop, Micronesia is 116k and Palau18k. Pretty sure, USA takes in more refuges than that population combined each year.
The US took in more refugees than that from Cuba alone in the last year.
There are a lot more non-atoll islands in Micronesia, there’d obviously be some on atolls who would need to evacuate but not the majority for sure

>level 2RubberPny · 6 hr. agoThere are already a few nations, such as the Kiribati, Marshall Islands, etc that are planning total evacuations of everyone to either Australia, New Zealand or the US, due to these places being fully under water in the future. For Marshall Islands, it's a bit easier due to the Compact Free Association with the US (basically allows free movement + the ability to use some gov services).Sorry for the tangent: the whole situation is sad and complex in the way it will need to be taken care of.
Let me put this in US Media speak:
A HORDE of unchecked IMMIGRANTS who might be CRIMINALS AND RAPISTS are RAVAGING OUR SHORES
These immigrants speak English. Americans are much much more accepting of immigrants who speak English and are preferably Christian.
Some of the scant handful of ukrainians that have been allowed to temporarily live in the United States have been treated like absolute f****** dog s***
Proof? That's bullshit
why though
… seriously you don’t understand that post?
override367 was saying that all this mass migration caused by climate change is going to be managed by right wing public entities in predictable ways; they will be exploited as “other” to distract from problems at home, and minimised to reduce their rights in the eyes of people in safer locations.
That’s “why though”.
They aren’t supporting that stance.
Yeah I'm a little disappointed no one got the sarcasm. :( Poor Override
We got the sarcasm, we just thought it was cheesy and tiring.
about 1100km from the pacific lol

No offense but I think they'd much prefer to move to NZ or Australia
