 The Foreign Policy Association reported that "Perhaps the most perplexing component of the Iraq refugee crisis... has been the inability for the U.S. to absorb more Iraqis following the 2003 invasion of the country.Up until 2008, the U.S. has granted less than 800 Iraqis refugee status, just 133 in 2007.By contrast, the U.S. granted asylum to more than 100,000 Vietnamese refugees during the Vietnam War."
