Three Things You Can Do to Restrict Refugee Resettlement:
1. We are gathering tens of thousands of signatures on an Open Letter to the leadership in the House and Senate voicing strong opposition to the Obama Administration’s plans to bring Syrian refugees to the U.S. The letter will be hand-delivered to the U.S. Congress by our Director of Government Relations.
2. We are actively supporting H.R. 3314, the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act of 2015 introduced by Rep Brian Babin (R-TX). The bill would immediately suspend the U.N.-run refugee program to provide Congress time to fully assess the national security risks and investigate its financial burden on federal, state and local taxpayers.
As of
this writing, the bill has 78 cosponsors. Is your House Representative
one of them? It behooves you to find out. If not, please send your House
Representative an e-mail asking for co-sponsorship. If your
Representative HAS cosponsored the bill, please send a quick note to say
thank you. It goes a long way.
(Several weeks ago, before the Paris attack, Representative Babin spoke on the Floor of the U.S. House of Representatives about the grave threat associated with the U.N.-run refugee program. Click HERE to watch it.)
3. We are actively registering our opposition to any federal funding for U.S. Refugee resettlement actions to be included in the U.S. Congress’s end of year spending bill. This is our most time-sensitive activity right now! Please e-mail or call your federal legislators TODAY to express your opposition to any federal funding going to refugee resettlement.
[NOTE: When calling your legislator’s office, it’s fine to merge Actions 2 and 3 together. Express your support for Rep. Babin’s bill and ask for co-sponsorship; and express your opposition for any refugee resettlement funding in the fiscal year 2016 budget bill.]
The Paris attack is but a foreshadowing of what can and will take place in our nation soon. We cannot allow un-vetted refugees from Syria (or elsewhere) to be settled in our towns and communities.
