These are refugees. Not employees. The entire basis of the process is that they're fleeing violence or persecution so severe that they risk dying if they stay. If they're willing to take a cash payout to go back, then the conditions can't possibly meet those that would grant them refugee status.


But some of the refugees claim to be fleeing economic hardships and poverty in their countries, in which case a cash payout is exactly a partial solution to that problem.

I'm not claiming that $50k is supposed to fix fears of ethnic cleansing or gang wars.


economic hardship isn't a qualification for refugee status, though. They can claim it all they want, but that's not a basis for acceptance. And if we really think it should be, there are plenty of poor people in our own country to help.
