Best Answer

Refugees have rights and are entitled to humane treatment, while internally displaced persons such as the previously convicted have none. For instance, if a refugee is granted access to the United States and carries a work visa, he cannot be discriminated against in any way. The previously convicted however are discriminated against every day.
