Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper tracks the development of refugee policy in Canada, Australia and the United States over the past twenty years. Historically, nations made strategic choices about how many refugees to accept from which regions. Increasingly however, asylum seekers arrive at borders without U.N. refugee status, and require processing by national level immigration officials to determine their eligibility for protection. I discuss how national governments in the United States, Canada and Australia have attempted to stem the flow of asylum seekers who seek protection by limiting access to their refugee status determination systems. Examples of these attempts include Safe Third Country treaties, interdiction at sea, visa checks at foreign airports, mandatory detention, excision of territory and expedited removal. I argue that in all three countries, refugee policy has undergone a transformation as a public policy area, and has begun to merge conceptually and practically with domestic immigration policy. As asylum seekers come to be viewed as illegal immigrants, often referred to in the media as security threats or "queue jumpers," refugee policy is losing its separate identity, and thus its insulation from the politics of illegal immigration control. The data are drawn from interviews with key refugee policy makers and advocates in each of the three nations, as well as content analysis of the policy frames used in legislative hearings and newspaper coverage.
