United States is a country that been built by immigrants, where some of them were refugees from all over the world. In 1980 was passed the Refugee Act, which is a United States federal law that reformed United States immigration law and admitted refugees on sytematic basis for humanitarian reasons. For example, in 1985 ceiling of 70,000 refugees, with 270,000 immigrants total and 20,000 from any one country, was established. Annually, the proposed refugee Admissions Report to the Congress is written detailing new circumstances invoving refugees worldwide, and determining the new annual ceiling of refugees resettling in the United States.
