Deferring to the torture risk in Belarus is such as an obvious bullshit. The only way they can torture there is by forcing you to eat their organic condensed sweetened milk.
Belarus is subject to US sanctions for “undermining democratic process and constituting an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States”.[25] It is also subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union for human-rights violations.[26] Belarus has been determined to be a habitual violator of international human-rights laws and accepted norms of international behavior by the UN, the US, the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, the Council of Europe, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the European Council, the European Parliament, the European Commission, and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. As stated by the UN Special Rapporteur on Belarus, “it is impossible to believe that all these people are wrong or biased.”
I hate that you're being downvoted. There's a real gamification of immigration and welfare benefits in the US by shady lawyers that serve the corrupt and steal resources from those who actually need them. These stories are endless.
The big problem with building a pro-immigration welfare state is that there's often no check on fraud. Bureaucrats like bigger budgets, expanding, etc and would rather just rubber stamp everything 'yes' than tackle things like fraud. Judges don't want to be labeled racist or anti-immigration, especially if they are voted in like they are in my state.
Now we're in this ugly position where we've imported all this unskilled labor and are simultaneously building automated solutions that'll make them redundant. Where will the taxi drivers and janitors go when robots replace them? Why are we importing in so much labor when U6 unemployment rates are still above 10%? What evidence do we have that this man is actually a torture risk? In Russia's sphere of influence pretty much everyone is a torture risk. That's what? 150m people?
What? Belarus is the North Korea of Europe. Have many relatives who tried doing business there, all of them ran away after police and different agencies tried extorting money for protection. No different, or probably worse than Russia in my opinion.
