Bhutanese Americans: Difference between revisions

Many of the Bhutanese who live in United States, like we say, are refugees from [[Nepal]]. This was because, between the late 80s and early 90s, thousands of Bhutanese were driven out of Bhutan, as they were considered by the government of his country as "illegal immigrants" because they did not share the [[Tibet]]an origin majority of the population of country. Despite this, however, this Bhutanese came from families who had been living in Bhutan for more of two centuries. The objective of his government was to maintain the Tibetan ethnic purity of most of the population. Thus, since 1990, more than 105,000 [[Bhutanese refugees|ethnically Nepali Bhutanese refugees]] temporarily migrated to neighboring Nepal, from where their ancestors came, establishing in [[refugee camps]] in the east of the country. However, after 15 years living in exile in the neighboring country, many of them have migrated to the U.S., Europe and Australia.<ref name=" bhutarefu">[http://www.bhutaneserefugees.com/: Bhutanese Refugees]{{dead link|date=October 2012}}</ref> His emigration to the United States is due, at least in large part, to a program coordinated by the [[U.S. State Department]] and the [[U.N.
