Summary

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong commitment to promoting the safety, health, and well-being of millions of refugees and asylum seekers both within the United States and around the world. It acknowledges the unprecedented global displacement crisis, with over 123 million people forcibly displaced, and highlights the United States' historical role and legal obligations under international and domestic law to protect those fleeing persecution. The resolution specifically calls for the full restoration of the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) by urging President Trump to lift the indefinite suspension that has stranded tens of thousands of approved refugees. It reaffirms the imperative to restore U.S. asylum protections, rejecting harmful bans and restrictions that limit access to due process at the border. Furthermore, it calls upon key cabinet secretaries and the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to strengthen the nation's leadership in humanitarian response, work with the international community to address root causes of migration, and meet robust refugee admissions goals, while supporting organizations like UNHCR and ensuring the inclusion of displaced populations in policy solutions.
