The May 2005 Source explores the US Refugee Program's responses to changing world trends, the Roma in an expanding Europe, and immigrants in the US military. We offer two country profiles on the UK and Norway, and continued coverage of US immigration policy developments.

- An analysis of how the US Refugee Program is transitioning into a new era marked by post-September 11 security concerns and less predictable refugee flows, by David Martin of the University of Virginia Law School.

- A report on the Roma, Europe's largest ethnic minority, by Arno Tanner of the Finnish Directorate of Immigration.

- A Norway country profile by MPI's Betsy Cooper, exploring how the country has become home to thousands of non-Europeans and its attempts to control immigration while keeping the door open to international labor flows.

- A UK country profile surveying the government's endeavors, in the midst of heightened political sensitivity, to meet labor market needs while maintaining tight control of flows, by Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah and Francesca Hopwood Road of the Institute for Public Policy Research.

- A spotlight on the continuing presence and role of the foreign-born in the US military, by MPI's Jennifer Yau.

- Our monthly Policy Beat, by MPI's Betsy Cooper, reporting on the new US passport requirements, the Arizona Minuteman project, the latest developments with the REAL ID act, and more.
