An '''asylum seeker''' or '''refugee''' is an individual who has been displaced from his or her home region due to war and violence; famine or out of fear of persecution, and seeks to live in a foreign nation. During the [[Human-Covenant War]], colonial refugees seeking asylum on [[Earth]] were often referred to with the derogatory term '''refu'''. The plural word is "refues", a homophone of "refuse," used to imply that such people are garbage.<ref>[[Media:so_mean.ogg|so_mean.ogg]]</ref> | An '''asylum seeker''' or '''refugee''' is an individual who has been displaced from his or her home region due to war and violence; famine or out of fear of persecution, and seeks to live in a foreign nation.

Many people from the [[Inner Colonies]] who began fleeing to [[Earth]] after the [[Outer Colonies]] fell to the [[Covenant]] during the Human-Covenant War. Complying with its standard immigration laws, the [[Unified Earth Government]] reacted negatively to colonial asylum seekers. With the ever-present threat of being the next colony to be [[glassing|glassed]], people from worlds like [[Coral]] gained entry to [[Earth]], being forced into refugee camps. [[Sophia Bossedon]] used underground connections to get an illegitimately-earned [[Wikipedia:Visa (document)|visa]] in order to avoid being caught and sent back. When such "illegal aliens" were forced to suffer the realization that their homeworld had finally been destroyed in [[2552]], Earth continued to intern these people despite there no longer being anywhere to return them to; Sophia was caught up with the post-Coral internment. Some human colonies, like [[Chi Rho]], became home to thousands of refugees.<ref>''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', Chapter 2</ref> | Many people from the [[Inner Colonies]] who began fleeing to [[Earth]] after the [[Outer Colonies]] fell to the [[Covenant]] during the Human-Covenant War.
