Abstract
Through engagement with key informants and review of ethical theories applicable to refugee policy, this paper examines the ethical and policy considerations that policy-level stakeholders believe should factor into setting the refugee resettlement ceiling. We find that the ceiling traditionally has been influenced by policy goals, underlying values, and practical considerations. These factors map onto several ethical approaches to resettlement. There is significant alignment between U.S. policy interests and ethical obligations toward refugees. We argue that the refugee ceiling should be restored to historical norms, and that there exists a corresponding obligation to counter negative public perceptions about refugees and the costs of resettlement.

确定在美国安置的难民数量:政策级利益相关者观点的伦理和政策分析
摘要
通过与关键信息提供者接触并审查适用于难民政策的道德理论,本文研究了政策层面的利益相关者认为应考虑的伦理和政策考虑因素,以设定难民安置上限。我们发现,传统上,上限受到政策目标,基本价值和实际考虑因素的影响。这些因素映射到几种重新安置的道德方法。美国的政策利益与对难民的道德义务之间存在着显着的一致性。我们认为,应将难民最高限额恢复到历史规范,并且存在相应的义务,以消除公众对难民和安置成本的负面看法。
