Refugee Relief Act

The Refugee Relief Act is a U.S. law enacted in 1953 to provide assistance to refugees fleeing persecution, war, or violence. It aimed to help those displaced by conflicts, particularly after World War II and the Korean War. The Act established processes for granting asylum and resettling refugees in the United States, offering them a chance for safety and a new life. It also set limits on the number of refugees allowed to enter the country, reflecting the U.S. commitment to humanitarian support while balancing immigration control.
