Thanks for the explainer. I’m on mobile so I’ll look up the exact language later. But since you seem knowledgeable about this, why are those granted asylum and refugee status included as “US persons” in the context of this employment classification? I can venture a guess, but my guess is really that it’s kind of a hanger-on from the Operation Paperclip and Cold War days, where we’d obviously want to bring in certain human capital from hostile regimes for our benefit. Basically I’m looking to understand more about the history of those regulations.


I'm not certain, I always assumed the reason was something along those lines too. Haven't ever looked in to it.
