As we speak, millions of men, women, and children are displaced from their homes and suffering in refugee camps, holding out hope that they might be offered a lifeline through refugee resettlement. Our country has the capacity to welcome them... the question is, do our leaders have the heart?

“Setting the U.S. refugee ceiling at zero would be an egregious assault on fundamental American values. And quite frankly, the humanitarian implications of this decision would be enough to nullify our global reputation as leaders of the free world,” said Krish Vignarajah, President & CEO of LIRS. “The President simply cannot afford to move forward with this proposal – not if he seeks ongoing support from people of faith all across the United States.”
