Group: U.S. “Unforgivably Slow” in Resettling Iraqi Refugees

HeadlineNov 14, 2007

The leading refugee-advocate group Refugees International has issued a scathing critique of the Bush administration’s treatment of displaced Iraqis. In a new report, Refugees International says the U.S. has been “unforgivably slow” in resettling Iraqi refugees. Almost five million Iraqis are believed to have been displaced since the U.S. invasion. The U.S. is admitting more than three times as many Iranian immigrants as it is Iraqis.
