00:13
a protection for refugees who are
00:16
seeking
00:17
freedom from their country under those
00:20
circumstances
00:21
those individuals may be seeking freedom
00:24
because they
00:25
are persecuted in their country for a
00:27
number of different reasons
00:28
some of those reasons include race and
00:30
religion

00:35
who are being persecuted in their
00:38
country
00:39
and gives them an opportunity to live in
00:41
the united states
00:42
without persecution
