Can US citizens be refugees?
Reader comment on item: 99 Percent of "Palestine Refugees" Are Fake
Submitted by Allan Caplan (Canada), Jan 12, 2018 at 09:16
If I understand this correctly, a child born today in the USA, whose parents were also born in the USA can claim refugee status under UNRWA because the child's grandparents or great grandparents claimed to have be refugees.
