ELI5: Why are Mexican immigrants running from the cartel not considered refugees?
gpt
To call the Mexican immigrants "refugees" would be to acknowledge that the government of Mexico is a failed democracy. The US gov't, businesses and other agencies have way too much invested in Mexico and get too much political use out of Mexico, to acknowledge that Mexico, for most purposes, is a failure as a state.
