Bill > SRes287

This resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to supporting refugees and displaced persons globally, addressing the urgent humanitarian challenges of forced migration. The resolution acknowledges the record-high number of displaced people worldwide in 2025, including over 123 million individuals forced from their homes, and highlights specific refugee crises in countries like Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Gaza. It criticizes the Trump administration's Executive Order 14163, which indefinitely suspended refugee admissions, and calls for restoring the United States Refugee Admissions Program. The resolution urges the President and key government officials to uphold international leadership in refugee protection, work to prevent conflicts, support humanitarian assistance, and create policies that meaningfully include refugee populations. It emphasizes that refugees contribute significantly to the U.S. economy, with studies showing they contributed an estimated $581 billion in total revenue between 2005 and 2019. The resolution also stresses the importance of protecting refugees' rights, ensuring due process, and maintaining the principles of non-refoulement, which prevents returning refugees to countries where they may face persecution or harm.
