Clarification of Amman Posting

In my posting about our Sunday in Amman, I seem to have left the impression that all refugees in Jordan have been assimilated into Jordan society. We were in Jordan for only one day. We did not visit any refugee camps or speak to any recent refugees. I talked to two people whose families had been forced off their land and out of their homes in 1948-1950. These people have been able to find jobs and start a new life in Jordan. However, later refugees are considered "guests" in Jordan and thus do not have the rights and priviledges of earlier refugees. We will be returning to Jordan near the end of our trip so hopefully I will be able to learn more about the refugee situation then.
