At a time when powerful voices are questioning the nation's ability and obligation to accommodate those who have come to the U.S. (between 1975 and 1992 more than 1.7 million refugees were resettled in the United States), this legal and moral distinction becomes imperative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefugees do not \u003cem\u003ewant\u003c\/em\u003e to leave their country.
