	Encyclopedia: Refugee Act
		The Refugee Act was a 1980 United States federal law that reformed United States immigration law and admitted refugees on systematic basis for humanitarian reasons.
		Congress passed the 1980 Refugee Act to consolidate the profusion of special and ad hoc arrangements, to bring U.S. criteria and procedures for granting refugee status into line with international law, and to grant resettlement assistance.
		Scarcely a month after the Refugee Act was passed in March 1980, the Carter Administration faced a major mass asylum situation when 125,000 Cuban boat people and several thousand Haitians landed in South Florida over several months.

	Bill C-31: The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (LS-364E) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Whereas the current Act is a complex web of reports and distinctions, the bill states simply that if a designated officer believed that a foreign national in Canada was inadmissible, he or she would prepare a report and transmit it to the Minister (who would, of course, delegate its receipt).
		Refugee claimants, as now, would receive conditional removal orders, which would become enforceable shortly after the claimant had been found to be ineligible to make a claim, or when the claim and any appeal had been finalized.
		Refugee advocates called the stricter provisions, particularly for refugee claimants, an overreaction to the arrival of the Chinese migrants in the summer of 1999; the word "draconian" was used.

	Seanad Éireann - Volume 152 - 22 October, 1997 - Implementation of Refugee Act: Motion.
		We had the Refugee Act which was as much a consequence of the decision of the courts to bring to an end the outrageous act of locking up applicants for refugee status in prison and keeping them there until we got round to doing something about it.
		The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is the custodian internationally of the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, known as the Geneva Convention, and its related Protocol.
		Some refugee families in the UK try to get around the legislation by sending their daughters back to aunts or grandmothers in Africa, The Yemen or elsewhere but teachers and social workers are always careful to counsel families that any such act done abroad may mean trouble for them.
