Last month, more than 60 national, state, and local organizations that work with immigrants and refugees across the United States joined together to urge the U.S. Government to uphold its commitment to welcome refugees.
For more than four decades, the U.S. refugee program has reflected our nation’s deepest values and global leadership in protecting the persecuted. Grounded in the Refugee Act of 1980, this bipartisan commitment has, for decades, offered safety and opportunity to millions fleeing violence and oppression.
This legacy is at risk.
“Together, we stand ready to work in partnership with federal, state, and local governments to ensure the United States continues to serve as a beacon of hope for those seeking safety. By recommitting to a strong humanitarian refugee program, we honor our nation’s promise as a land of freedom and opportunity.”
