    Refugee is a person who is in search of a refuge in a country other than his own birth land. This is done in order to get away from persecution, war, terrorism, extreme poverty, famines, and natural disaster.

    The United Nations Convention defines refugee as "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country." The major starting place countries of refugees are Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, and Sudan. 'Asylum Seekers' is another term by which a refugee can be addressed.

        Refugee is a person who is in search of a better lifestyle. Most refugees come to The United States because religious, political, and family reasons. If a family member or members moved to America the might even move with them. Most countries have political reasons at are in bad situations, so thats why they move. The lifestyle of some people are diff rent from others, and they're people try to kill or harm them because of thier lifestyle. Thats why they become refugees.
