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.

Restoration of Asylum Protections: Reaffirming the Refugee Act of 1980 helps ensure that refugees have access to due process and protections at the U.S. border (Section 4).

Resumption of Refugee Admissions: Lifting the indefinite suspension of the United States Refugee Admissions Program would allow stranded refugees, including those already vetted and approved, to resettle in the U.S. (Section 6).

Support for Vulnerable Groups: The resolution emphasizes protecting populations facing gender-based violence, torture, human trafficking, and persecution of religious minorities (Section 7A).

Aid for Host Countries: Increasing humanitarian and development assistance to frontline host countries helps alleviate pressure on those nations that absorb the majority of the world's refugees (Section 7D).

Disability Services: Addressing barriers for refugees with disabilities through accessible infrastructure and social protection schemes would benefit those with specific physical or mental needs (Section 7H).

Impact of Current Policies: The text notes that Executive Order 14163, which suspended refugee admissions, puts the lives of refugees from places like Iran, Afghanistan, Burma, Sudan, and Somalia at risk (Whereas clause regarding Executive Order 14163).

Budgetary Cuts: Reductions in U.S. foreign assistance have led to decreased food rations in refugee camps, which threatens to destabilize fragile situations for those abroad (Whereas clause regarding foreign assistance cuts).

Restrictive Admissions: The current prioritization of Afrikaners from South Africa for over 95 percent of arrivals excludes other refugees who are most in need of protection (Whereas clause regarding Presidential Determination).

Program Failures: The failure to implement the Lautenberg-Specter Program leaves religious minorities in Iran and the former Soviet Union without a way to be screened and admitted (Whereas clause regarding Lautenberg-Specter Program).
