Mr. Roberts,
As do most words, the term "refugee" has a specific meaning.  Not everyone who immigrates to this country is a refugee.  It is not at all clear from this piece that either Mr. Gonzalez or Mr. Aguilar are refugees.  Even if they are refugees in the broad sense of the word -- that they are fleeing persecution in their home country, they are not refugees as the term is used in the current immigration conversation, as referring to a specific group of people who have been recognized as refugees by the UN and/or a particular government.  
It's good to use words correctly; otherwise one may cause confusion.
