A resolution reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.

Key Points

• This resolution asks the government to start letting refugees into the country again. It points out that Trump signed an order in early 2025 that stopped all refugee arrivals. This action left over 100,000 people who were already approved for travel stuck in dangerous situations.
• The proposal highlights a massive global crisis with more than 123 million people forced from their homes due to war and violence. It mentions specific groups in need of help, including people from Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza, who are looking for safety from conflict.
• Supporters of the plan argue that helping refugees is a long-standing American value that also helps the economy. They cite a study showing that refugees and asylees contributed over $580 billion in tax money to the United States over a 15-year period.
• The resolution also criticizes recent travel bans that block people from 12 different countries. It calls for the government to follow laws from 1980 that were designed to give people a fair chance to seek safety in the United States through a legal process.
