07/18/2009: "Obama grants asylum to all women treated badly by men"

The Obama administration has opened the way for foreign women who are victims of severe domestic beatings and sexual abuse to receive asylum in the United States. The action reverses a Bush administration stance in a protracted and passionate legal battle over the possibilities for battered women to become refugees.

In addition to meeting other strict conditions for asylum, abused women will need to show that they are treated by their abuser as subordinates and little better than property, according to an immigration court filing by the administration, and that domestic abuse is widely tolerated in their country. They must show that they could not find protection from institutions at home or by moving to another place within their own country.

The administration laid out its position in an immigration appeals court filing in the case of a woman from Mexico who requested asylum, saying she feared she would be murdered by her common-law husband there. According to court documents filed in San Francisco, the man repeatedly raped her at gunpoint, held her captive, stole from her and at one point tried to burn her alive when he learned she was pregnant.

[ This amounts to an open-door immigration policy - and when these women (isn't it a tad sexist men aren't eligible? ) get settled in the US their family, including abusive males, can come over to join them. ]

White Aryans probably invented the concept of women's rights in the first place. We get no credit, but are stereotyped by the Jewsmedia as wifebeaters, perpetrators of incest with our sisters and daughters, and are said to copulate with farm animals. Meanwhile, Chinese did footbinding of girls into the 1900s, Negroes in Africa still do female genital mutilation, and Muslims and Orthodox Jews force women to cover up and can hold them prisoner.

Then again, we should expect the worst depravity of these lies from our sworn enemies!

I guess he wants to afford them an opportunity to be treated almost as badly by the ever-growing asshole demographic over here. Throwing small turd chunks into an already dirty glass of milk is not an improvement.
