But that's just me.
Some of those should be waived in the case of a person claiming refugee status, however they would need to be swapped for a compelling argument that they are in physical danger if they stay in their country.
And as for employment, it might be wise to have a set time limit of, say, 1 month for them to find work (or enrol into education) because the reality is sometimes that might not be feasible.
And, once again, all of that should have a standard of proof that a reasonable person should be able to quickly compile, and the immigration courts should be funded enough so that there are enough bureaucrats to efficiently process the case.
40% of those coming are unaccompanied minors.
What do we do about them? Employment does not matter much in their case.
