U.S. family seeks asylum in Finland

"Five U.S. citizens seek asylum from [sic] Finland

 All in a day's work, they say, but it was not exactly a routine occurrence for the immigration officials at Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport on Tuesday evening, when a family of five United States citizens asked for asylum in Finland.
      The group arrived in Finland from another Schengen country. This is unlikely to improve their prospects of being granted asylum, owing to the terms of the Dublin Convention, which generally assumes that someone seeking asylum is required to apply in the member-state first entered.
    
The authorities are not at liberty to divulge the reasons given for the application for asylum, but at least according to current information it is not believed to have any connection with the war in Iraq.
    
It is quite exceptional for US nationals to seek asylum in Finland.
      According to the statistics of the Directorate of Immigration (UVI), before Tuesday's events just one American citizen had filed an asylum application here during the current decade. The Directorate will now consider the latest application.
      The story was first reported on the online portal of Ilta-Sanomat on Wednesday."

Their application probably won't even be processed. Finland has one of the toughest immigration laws in the world and the USA is considered a safe country, so the family's chances of getting an asylum are pretty slim.

I really wonder what they're running away from... As if life would be easier in Finland...

Dont you know how shity your shit country is compared to europe? If I was a yankfag I would want to get Asylum from the states as well.

Dollar is going down!

The dollar is goin' down like a cheap whore!

Just like you!

Even if I was, millions of working class in America don't depend on my going down, whereas for the dollar, they DO.  Who is really fucked here, guy?

Haw haw haw!  AMERICANS PWN THEMSELVES.  They vote for vicious elites each election cycle who sell them down the muthafuckin' river just a little more, until the falls come into view ... and by then, it's too late to try to get out of the water.  Haw haw haw!  AMERICANS R DER STOOOOPID!

RedCream is right. As long as Americans vote for politians who lower taxes by cutting basic utilities (healthcare, investment in infrastructure) and lower the value of the dollar to protect inefficient US industries American will slowly collapse in on itself (I predict that this hurrican season FEMA will again fail to do anything after a major hurricane).

Our government fails, our economy is about to fail too once we consolidate American and Canadian currency with useless Mexican currency and form a North American Union, and our future is made of implanted microchips, AIDS, and fail.

Must move to winland to avoid the failstorm.

I know all this, and it makes me depressed. I just had a chance to make fun of RedCream.
