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.
This resolution, introduced around World Refugee Day, expresses congressional support for U.S. efforts to protect refugees and displaced persons globally and within the United States. It highlights that over 117 million people are displaced worldwide, references the U.S. resettling 60,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024, and calls on federal agencies to maintain the Refugee Admissions Program, uphold asylum protections, and support host countries. The resolution does not create new laws but reaffirms existing commitments to refugee resettlement, safety, and integration through current programs.
