The Indochinese Exodus:

A Humanitarian Dilemma





The continuing flow of refugees from Com-
munist Indochina has strained the willingness
and ability of Asian asylum countries to
provide temporary care for refugees. Refugee
camps are overcrowded     and  inadequate.
There is a need for camps where U.N. and
voluntary agencies can care for refugees and
can process them for permanent resettle-
ment, free from political restraints and the
international relations problems of the
asylum countries.


Greater international participation in
resettlement is essential. The     U.S.
commitment is clouded by outdated
provisions in its immigration laws. Revisions
that clearly embody U.S. intentions could
help motivate participation of other nations
and eliminate uncertainties which inhibit
the resettlement work of voluntary agencies
and   Federal, State, and     local
governments.
