Abstract: 
Response to the issue of refugees is seen on four levels: asylum, resettlement, protection, and dealing with root causes. It addresses the perception that "They Take Our Jobs","We Already Have Enough People", and "They Threaten Our Way of Life". A critique of Canadian government immigration and refugee policy calls for changes. Both the United States and the Soviet Union are criticized for their role in creating refugees in different parts of the world, such as Central America and Afghanistan.
