Ugandans. and Ethiopians. However. the Attorney General has refused to extend EVD status to Central Americans. forcing them to return to their countries. Contrary to INS assertions. the majority of these refugees are not coming here for economic reasons. they are coming here out of fear for their lives. and they hope to return to their homes as soon as political conditions permit. EVD is the appropriate status for such refugees. as it would allow them to remain in this country temporarily. but would not grant them permanent asylum. In addition. EVD would reduce the number of people forced to enter the country illegally.
