Summary of Bill HR 670
Bill 119 HR 670, also known as the "Refugee Protection Act of 2021," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a minimum number of refugees that must be admitted into the United States each fiscal year starting in 2026. The bill seeks to ensure that the US continues to uphold its commitment to providing refuge to those fleeing persecution and violence in their home countries.
Specifically, the bill sets a minimum annual refugee admissions goal of 125,000 individuals, with provisions for adjustments based on humanitarian need and national security considerations. This represents a significant increase from the historically low refugee admissions caps set by the previous administration.
In addition to establishing a minimum refugee admissions goal, the bill also includes provisions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the refugee resettlement process. This includes measures to streamline the application and vetting process for refugees, as well as increased funding for refugee integration and support services. Overall, the Refugee Protection Act of 2021 seeks to reaffirm the United States' commitment to providing refuge to those in need, while also ensuring that the refugee resettlement process is fair, transparent, and efficient.
