		Bhutan says they are mostly economic migrants who have either been deported during the 1980s census or those that were intimidated by nepali terrorists during the uprising of the 1990s.

	UNHCR - The Exodus of Ethnic Nepalis from Southern Bhutan
		Ethnic Nepalis began to settle in Bhutan in large numbers at the end of the 19th century, when the Dorji family was granted permission to settle immigrants in the south of the country in order to open up the land for cultivation.

		Bhutan seems to be under no great pressure, and is therefore in no great rush, to resolve the matter, while Nepal would no doubt like to see the refugee crisis resolved as soon as possible.
