I still don't know the answers. I'm not talking morality...I am talking about what are the laws - the rules that govern the topic of refugees.
Who is the US responsible to take in?
As has been alleged, is every country required to take in refugees? And if they are, who is doing the requiring? I guess that sort of makes it three questions.
I worked for an organization who helped resettle refugees from all over the world. During the time I was there, most were coming from Africa. But this was a charity, not a government agency so I didn't really become educated on laws and such but instead on the intent and focus of that particular organization.
I am honestly curious. And some of you I see as being pretty smart about a lot of things.

That’ll do to go on with. Most of it seems to be governed under The Immigration and Nationality Act, along with treaties the US is signatory to.
