Illegal immigrants are not refugees

Do the media or politicians in the United States call people refugees when they are smuggled from one country to another in an organized way for different purposes? Of course, not, they call them illegal immigrants. And they are indeed illegal immigrants.

Yet, when they are Uygurs from China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, then they are called "refugees". A politicized transformation intended to smear mud on the face of China.

Washington's groundless accusations against Thailand for its recent repatriation of more than 100 illegal immigrants back to China once again shows that it looks at things through distorting spectacles when they are related to China.
