Hope America continues to welcome refugees

This is the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Millions of people from Syria, Central America, and other conflict zones have been forced to leave their homes due to violence and instability in their communities.

The Obama administration is starting to acknowledge the magnitude of this crisis, but the stated goal of welcoming just 110,000 refugees next year falls far short of what is needed.

Congress has so far failed to agree to fund even this modest increase in refugee assistance. The U.S. needs to increase funding to meet the urgent need for refugee resettlement in the U.S. and international assistance.

I hope my senators and representative will act to welcome refugees.
