  • Refugee and Asylum Policy Reform
    refugee_covers_Report 11/12/10 3:56 PM Page 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Refugee and asylum law is overdue for reform. It has strayed far from its original and altruistic intent of offering protection to those who face a credible fear of persecution at the hands of their governments, based on reasons of race, religion, ethnicity, or political belief. That commitment to helping others in distress, that is understood and supported by the public, has been hijacked by political interest groups seeking to advance their own narrow agendas and by non-governmental organizations with lucrative government contracts that pay them to resettle refugees in the United States. The U.S. refugee program has been expanded to admit persons who were already protected in U.N.-supported refugee camps. The U.S. asylum program has been expanded through judicial advocacy of immigration lawyers who represent asylum claimants. These activists relentlessly seek to expand the definition of asylum to include people who live in failed or dysfunctional nations to the extent that the definition of asylum is now distorted. It now includes people who simply live in nations experiencing social and political turmoil; people who face social ostracism; people in dysfunctional and violent personal or marital relationships; people who live in nations facing environmental degradation or natural disasters; and other circumstances that have little or nothing to do with government repression. All of these people face compelling situations of human misery, but such a broad expansion of the grounds for political asylum could, quite literally, make billions of people around the world eligible for protection in the United States.
