In January 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order stopping entry to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries and dramatically cutting the number of refugees allowed to resettle in the United States each year. The American people spoke up, with protests, marches, donations, and lawsuits that quickly overturned the order. But the refugee caps remained.
In The Displaced, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Viet Thanh Nguyen, himself a refugee, brings together a host of prominent refugee writers to explore and illuminate the refugee experience. Featuring original essays by a collection of writers from around the world, The Displaced is an indictment of closing our doors, and a powerful look at what it means to be forced to leave home and find a place of refuge.

All refugees are not truly refugees. Vetting is necessary.

They should write a book focusing on countries that never take in refugees like Japan, S. Korea, Singapore, China, Saudi Arabia etc instead of focusing on countries that have taken in refugees.

chrisxiii,
are you talking about refugees or asylum seekers?
There is a difference, you know.
Refugee status usually given to people displaced from a war zone or other deadly conflict (genocide in Rwanda comes to mind as an example).
Vetting, as well as background checks and medical exams are done by American consulates overseas, PRIOR to person’s arrival to the US. Just FYI.
