[inaudible] prof. garcia: absolutely correct, all of you. thank you. the country has been locked in a bloody civil war for the past four years that has internally displaced one third of its population. that is 7 million out of 21 million people. some 4 million people have been forced to cross international borders, mostly to neighboring countries like jordan and lebanon. they are fleeing enormous devastation. last month, the obama administration announced it would increase the annual refugee quota over the next two years to assist with this humanitarian crisis. the annual quota, which has been set at 70,000 to 80,000 for over a decade now will increase

they are fleeing enormous devastation. last month, the obama administration announced it would increase the annual refugee quota over the next two years to assist with this humanitarian crisis. the annual quota, which has been set at 70,000 to 80,000 for over a decade now will increase to 100,000 by the end of fiscal year 2017, presumably to accommodate a greater share of syrian refugees. within our immigration bureaucracy, there are several tracks for admission. over the course of the semester, we have discussed some of those tracks of admission. today we are going to discuss two of those additional tracks, the refugee and asylum tracks. as you know from your class readings, americans have used the word "refugee" throughout the 19th and 20th centuries to describe a wide range of migration experiences. during the mid-19th century, for example, americans referred to the germans fleeing the 1848 revolution in europe as refugees. in 1865, as part of the post-civil war reconstruction, the federal government established an agen
