Offers a historic review of the U.S. refugee resettlement program. It spans the colonial era, to the establishment of the first distinct U.S. admissions policies for persons fleeing persecution in 1917, to the creation of the formal U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) in 1980, and following the Trump administration, proposes ways that a new presidential administration can rebuild this crucially important program and put it on more secure footing.
