 Concerns have been raised with the U.S. asylum and refugee determination processes.A recent empirical analysis by three legal scholars described the U.S. asylum process as a game of refugee roulette, meaning that the outcome of asylum determinations depends largely on the personality of the particular adjudicator to whom an application is randomly assigned, rather than on the merits of the case.The low numbers of Iraqi refugees accepted between 2003 and 2007 exemplifies these concerns about the United States' refugee processes.
