There's a leader in today's New York Times on the urgency of admitting Iraqi refugees into the US:
Thousands of Iraqis, many hunted as traitors because they assisted America's war effort, are finding the bridge to safety blocked. Their admission to the United States as refugees is being delayed by a tortuous application process and lumbering bureaucratic reviews.The editorial concludes that the system of admission 'needs to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed fast'. In the same connection, but for Britain, see here and here.
