Seeking Refuge in New York

The article that I am covering this week is about a Senegalese gay man who was granted refugee status by the US government. He was being chased and attacked all around his home country of Senegal. He was granted refugee status on July 31, and arrived in the US on August 18. He is currently looking for employment in New York City. I think that the whole premise behind the article is wrong. He was attacked and hurt numerous times. The government didn’t even do anything to stop these attacks. Also, he is one of the few who have been given refugee status based on these claims. This is also a major problem with the United States immigration policies. If someone has there life threatened they shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get to this country.
