Americans believed it was a trade off between protecting the nation and rescuing refugees, so they limited visas. Visas now could only be given out if there were absolutely no concerns about the refugee, they had a reason to enter the US , and they were authorized by Washington. The government also created the Refugee Rule which created stricter policies for refugees with relatives in Germany, Italy, for Russia(Wyman 125).
