It's hard to enter the US as a legal immigrant, though - the US have always been cherry-picking immigrants, electing to focus on helping the ones voting with their feet against communism, most of whom probably doen't fall under the definision of the term refugee as it's defined in the 1951 Convention, and being reluctant to accept other asylum-seekers, even if they're more in need of help.
