FREEDOMSCRY 03/21/2016 SUPPORT HR 4731 RESTRICT 'REFUGEE' RESETTLEMENT

Action Alert! Update: Ensure Restrictions to the Refugee Resettlement Program Pass!

Restrict Refugee Resettlement - Urge Your Representative to Push for a Floor Vote on HR 4731! Dear CAPS Action Alert Team member, The Refugee Program Integrity Restoration Act, or HR 4731, is a good start to restricting refugee resettlement in the U.S. It introduces a ceiling on the numbers (where there currently is none) and helps to prevent further abuse of the system by executive orders. HR 4731 is needed more than ever because President Obama now wants to increase the number of refugees to 200,000, including thousands of Syrians.   This number does not even include additional hundereds of thousands who receive asylum. We already receive 50,000 a month ‘off the books’ through early morning flight deliveries so they don’t have to go through customs, whch would cause an internal documentation of numbers. Beyond the clear security threat, bringing un-vetted refugees here is an extremely wasteful means of providing assistance. With resources already set for use on foreign aid, we could shelter 12 refugees in the Middle East for the same cost as resettling just one refugee in America.  We already have thousands of terriorist in the US and that doesn’t include twenty-seven terrorists training camps, three of which are in the Washington, DC area.

Tell your Representative to push for a timely floor vote on this important bill to restrict resettlement! Sincerely, Jo Wideman, CAPS Executive Director
