Segal further explained that while the term “refugee” is often used in a general way to refer to all people who have been forced to leave their home nations, it also has a specific legal meaning. Legally, some displaced people are refugees, some are parolees and some are asylum seekers. This particular program is specifically for parolees, he said.
