Keep the U.S. Open to Refugees
Target: President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Sponsored by: International Rescue Committee
Sponsored by: International Rescue Committee
The U.S. President is responsible for renewing America's promise as a beacon of hope for refugees who are fleeing persecution and violence. One of the responsibilities of the President is to lead the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, which provides freedom and sanctuary to refugees who are hoping to build a new life in America.
Unfortunately, in recent years the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has struggled and failed to meet its own goals for admitting refugees. Every year thousands of refugees are denied a new life in America due to inadequate funding and cumbersome, outdated processes for identifying and resettling refugees who need protection.
Call on President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to modernize the U.S. Refugee Admission Program and ensure this country welcomes refugees in a secure and timely manner!

The U.S. is directly and indirectly responsible for creating so many refugees. The least we can do is help out those who get out of the problem areas.
