house Bill H. Res. 444
Should the House Reaffirm America’s Commitment to the Safety of Refugees?
Argument in favor
Refugees and displaced persons are among the most vulnerable populations in the world, and they deserve the protection of governments who can afford to take them. Expressing the House’s support for refugees and the refugee resettlement program would help achieve this goal.

A resolution confirming Congressional commitment to honoring traditional American values would normally not be needed- but unfortunately we are at a point where it is. A resolution does nothing more than provide a reminder of who we are and what we stand for. It is also a commitment by our Congressional House to defend those immigrants who are otherwise defenseless against race based policies that demonize and dehumanize them, and that suffer the gross mistreatment from those afraid of losing white supremacist/nationalist entitlement in a more diverse society.

We are the United States of America. We ARE a nation of immigrants. We stand for freedom, liberty and equality. We DO NOT believe in racial superiority and concentration camps, for adults or children. The evils of the wannabe dictator in the office of the President and his morally bankrupt administration and supporters in the GOP must pay the price for their crimes. It is time for impeachment and then trials.

United States’ bipartisan commitment to promoting the safety, health, education, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons amid war, persecution, and violence, this country need to be a beacon oh hope. Our strength is our caring.
Argument opposed
This toothless resolution wouldn’t change current administration policy on the topic of refugee admissions. If the House is serious about this issue, it should pass actual legislation, not a non-binding resolution. It’s also worth considering if it’s advisable for the U.S. to admit more refugees in the light of the security risks they might pose.

This another waste of time refugees are protected by the constitution already. How about they Pledge to protect the more then 70,000 Americans that are killed by drugs rape and murder committed by the illegal persons coming over the border. They need to also need to allow a citizen oversight committee to investigate their actions and deeds and allow that same committee the ability to impeach or refer the to the justice department for further investigation and Immediate removal from office until the completion of their investigation. This must be done to save our corrupt government... sad but true! Look our Chuck S .

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
That is one of the cruelest, heartless, ignorant questions you could ask! Of course it should!
Absolutely. Re-confirm USA commitment to safety of refugees.
Absolutely yes!! We have done just despicable things to these innocent people looking for the same things our forefathers were looking for! We as AMERICANS, must not turn our backs to them!!!

....And you all must speak out loud in support of the obvious, Refugee redemption and rescue in the truly American way. Are we not a nation of immigrants?
We supposedly support the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, where you came from or your race or religion is not a reason to invalidate those statements. One person's belief cannot change the way that the people treat others. We are human beings living together on this small planet and we need to preserve the earth and protect each person from wherever they came seeking a better life and future for themselves and their families. Many lives are threatened and endangered in the country that they have come from, put yourself in their shoes
Yes, we should. After all, we are a nation of immigrants and refugees.
Why is this a question if we are truly a nation of decency (current administration excepted)? I want the America back that would not even ask this question.
Yes, please -- despite the dishonor and lawlessness of the Trump administration and the utter lack of concern or even basic humanity of our President himself. "No man is an island," Mr. Trump -- or did you skip poetry at your Ivy League school?
Of course we need to protect everyone that is in our country. What a crazy question
True Refugees Ana Displaced Persons—YES..... Others — NO
I agree that Refugees and displaced persons are among the most vulnerable populations in the world, and they deserve the protection of governments who can afford to take them.
Expressing the House’s support for refugees and the refugee resettlement program would help achieve this goal.
However, we are seeing many individuals claiming refugees or a state persecution displaced status, without a justifiable cause in support of, their perceived status.
SneakyPete..... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. 9.24.19.....
If America is not going to safeguard refugees, how can we possibly justify interfering in international politics at all? What are we fighting for if not human rights? Are we ready to admit we send our children to fight for oil and corporate profit, because otherwise we’d better at least pretend to stand for something worthy of their lives.
We used to be an honorable country who showed mercy and kindness to the refugees and homeless of the world. We need to restore our values.
