Abstract

The United States has historically accepted and resettled refugees by opening its doors to those fleeing violence, armed conflict, or persecution around the world. However, the degree of receptivity toward refugee resettlement has vacillated over time. This study examines the challenges and opportunities that Refugee Resettlement Agencies (RRAs) experienced prior to and after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. The findings presented in this paper, based on focus groups with the RRA staff, revealed that there is a greater need for understanding the refugee resettlement process and how changing immigration policies impact state-federal funding.

人类服务提供者对2016年总统大选前后美国移民安置的看法

摘要

美国历来通过向逃离世界各地的暴力，武装冲突或迫害的人敞开大门，来接纳和安置难民。但是，随着时间的流逝，人们对难民安置的接受程度开始动摇。本研究考察了2016年美国总统大选前后难民安置机构（RRA）面临的挑战和机遇。本文基于RRA工作人员的焦点小组提出的调查结果表明，更需要了解难民的重新安置过程以及不断变化的移民政策如何影响国家联邦资金。
