Very unlikely to pass

This is a non-binding resolution introduced by the minority party to criticize the current administration's policies. It is unlikely to be brought for a vote or passed in a Republican-controlled Senate.

Key Points

This resolution asks the government to start accepting refugees again after Trump suspended the program in early 2025. It points out that over 100,000 people who were already approved to come to the U.S. are now stuck in dangerous situations.
The proposal criticizes the current limit of 7,500 refugees per year. It notes that almost all of those spots are currently reserved for one specific group from South Africa. This leaves out many others facing violence or religious persecution in places like Syria, Ukraine, and Afghanistan.
It highlights a massive global crisis with more than 117 million people forced from their homes due to war and unfair treatment. The resolution argues that helping these people is a core American value and helps keep the country safe and economically strong.
The plan calls for the U.S. to work more closely with international groups to provide food, medical care, and schooling for displaced children. It also asks for the restoration of programs that help religious minorities from the former Soviet Union and Iran.
