Definitions
Refugees are people who must
flee their homeland fearing death or persecution because of their race,
religion, or political views. These people must leave everything behind,
including family members, material possession, and cultural identity for
the chance to rebuild a life with personal safety, individual freedom, and
peace. Each refugee is carefully screened by the UNHCR (United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees) and the INS (U.S. Immigration and Naturalization
Service) to verify proof of actual persecution, and confirm that there has
been no involvement in criminal activities according to U.S. laws.
An asylee is a non-U.S. Citizen in the U.S.
whose application for asylum has been adjudicated by the Department of Justice
and about whom a determination has been made that he or she is "unable
or unwilling to return to his or her country of origin because of past
persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution, based on the person's
race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or
political opinion.
An asylum seeker is a person, who has fled
personal danger in his or her home country, has entered the U.S. directly
in search of safety and protection and in order to stay must apply for asylum.
