Research on this time period shows that no matter what a person says, the reaction to these countries coming to the US was completely different with very few similarities. Most were different, such as the way they had different experiences when it came to them immigrating to the US in 1980; for example, the economy and opportunities given to them, the response or reception of the local community, and the government’s reaction.

    Many people often ask if the Allies knew about the persecution of Jewish people and whether they could have done something to stop it. While information did reach the Allies about these acts little action was taken to stop it. Information was easily attainable before World War II as many countries had journalists and other sources of media stationed around the world, this was also the case in Germany. However once the war began all journalists were forced to leave Germany and so information was harder to obtain. This resulted in the Allied Forces knowing very little about what the Nazis were doing inside their own country to political prisoners and other prisoners of war.

On the contrary, the right to asylum is the decision of each state according to its sovereignty (Barnet, 2002 and Henkel, 1982).
