This paper argues that Jordan has adopted a semi-protectionist policy towards Iraqi forced migrants;; i.e. letting them in but depriving them of a status;; therefore encouraging them to move forward. For their part;; despite minor differences;; Western countries all have adopted a reverse semi-protectionist policy;; i.e. limiting forced migrants access to their territories but granting those who have managed to enter liberal asylum while never deporting Iraqis back to the Middle East.
