What is a refugee and how is a refugee different from an immigrant? What causes someone to flee from their homes? Sometimes, as was the case with native Americans, it is a forced migration that causes a refugee crisis. Sometimes, as was the case in Europe in the 1930s, the situation is so desperate that they are forced to get out. But who makes the determination of a refugee can receive asylum? Is it international agencies like the United Nations? How do the systems that determine whether someone is a refugee or merely an immigrant work in places like Daabab Kenya, where over 500 thousand people are waiting for resettlement? Once refugee status has been determined, what legal barriers regulating entry have been created during the 20th Century in the United States?
