H.R. 4033:
Refugee Relocation Security Act
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 4033, the Refugee Relocation Security Act, would halt refugee resettlement of foreign nationals from Syria or Iraq or whose last known residence was Syria or Iraq.
H.R. 4048:
Syrian Refugee Verification and Safety Act
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 4048, the Syrian Refugee Verification and Safety Act, would halt refugee resettlement of foreign nationals from Syria or whose last known residence was Syria until the executive branch took several actions and Congress certifies the actions taken.
H.R. 3818:
Ending Special National Origin-Based Immigration Programs for Cubans Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 3818, the Ending Special National Origin-Based Immigration Programs for Cubans Act, would repeal the Cuban Adjustment Act that issues green cards to nationals from Cuba.
H.R. 3573:
Refugee Resettlement Oversight and Security Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 3573, the Refugee Resettlement Oversight and Security Act of 2015, would require Congress to pass a joint resolution each year approving the number of refugees resettled in the United States each year. This would likely reduce the resettlement of refugees into the United States by requiring greater Congressional oversight.
H.R. 3314:
Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 3314, the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015, would immediately suspend all refugee resettlement until the Government Accountability Office can assess its costs to state and local municipalities and potential national security threats.
H.R. 1153:
Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 1153, the Asylum Reform and Border Protection Act of 2015, represents one of the most thorough responses to the surge of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) at the Southwest border. Aside from repealing the requirements that resulted in UACs from contiguous countries receiving differing treatment than those from noncontiguous countries, this bill requires immigration officers to order all illegal entrants removed upon screening, absent an asylum claim. In order to encourage cooperation with return, foreign countries who resist repatriation will face cuts to foreign assistance.
H.R. 1149:
Protection of Children Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 1149, the Protection of Children Act of 2015, would remove the requirement that only UACs from contiguous countries receive expedited removal. In addition, children are no longer required to make their own independent decision to withdraw their applications for admission, and immigration officers who determine such children are inadmissible may withdraw their applications and return them to their home countries. The transfer time of UACs to HHS is extended to allow for review, and various improvements are made to the SIJ visa and asylum programs.
H.R. 191:
Repeal Executive Amnesty Act of 2015
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R.
H.R. 5163:
H.R. 5163
NumbersUSA's Position:
SupportH.R. 5163 would focus on addressing the increased influx of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) on the Southwest border. First and foremost, it removes the distinction between UACs from contiguous and noncontiguous countries, then requires those who are screened and do not qualify are returned within 72 hours. Various improvements are made to the system for processing UACs, including a new requirement that they are to remain in Border Patrol custody until voluntary departure, removal, or granting of legal status.
