Very unlikely to pass

This resolution is a statement of protest against current executive branch policies. Since it is not a binding law and faces a divided political environment, it is unlikely to be adopted.

Key Points

Rep. Lieu and other House members introduced a plan to support refugees. It asks the government to recognize the importance of helping people who are forced to flee their homes because of war or unfair treatment.
The resolution calls on Trump to end the current ban on refugees entering the country. It points out that over 100,000 people who were already approved to come to the United States are now stuck in dangerous situations.
It criticizes the decision to set a record low limit of 7,500 refugees for the year. The plan also notes that almost all recent arrivals have been from one specific group in South Africa, which leaves many other vulnerable people behind.
The proposal highlights that refugees help the American economy. A study showed that refugees and asylum seekers contributed over 580 billion dollars in tax money and revenue over a 14 year period.
If passed, the resolution would encourage the government to work with other countries to stop the causes of migration. It also aims to protect vulnerable groups like women, children, and religious minorities.
