This article examines the effects of a change in US law on the resettlement of Colombian refugees from Ecuador to third countries. The researchers conducted a fact-finding mission in three different ...cities in Ecuador in March 2006. The primary goal of the fact-finding mission was to document the stories of Colombian refugees seeking resettlement to a third-country because they remain unsafe or unable to integrate in Ecuador, their country of first asylum. Through coordination with United Nations High Commission for Refugees in Ecuador, the researchers interviewed a total of sixty-three Colombian individuals or families. The material support provisions are having a deleterious effect on Colombian refugees in need of resettlement to a third country. The law, as currently written, is not flexible enough to effectively address the harsh, everyday realities for Colombians and others who find themselves in a conflict zone. The material support provisions are currently punishing the victims of terrorism as if they themselves are terrorists.
