Abstract
No consideration of American immigration law today would be complete without some reference to that familiar type of immigrant-the refugee. The case for the refugee's inclusion requires no elaborate documentation. East and West, in Asia no less than Europe, wars, revolutions, and conflicts among nation-states have produced innumerable forced migrations. We have an indelible impression of these populations in flight, whatever the label selected to describe them-refugees, displaced persons, expellees, deportees, escapees. True, we Americans have been protected so far from actual population displacement, save those of us of Japanese descent who were victims of a policy of forced relocation during World War II. But we are conscious, nonetheless, of the refugee problem abroad, if only because we are continually weighing our tradition of asylum for victims of persecution against the realities of our basic immigration legislation now embodied in the McCarran-Walter Act.l
