Refugee Resettlement

President Obama recently announced his plans to admit 10,000 Syrians next year into the U.S. through the U.N.-led Refugee Resettlement Program. It is likely that tens of thousands more will follow in the coming years under the President’s plan. For the past decade the U.S. has been admitting roughly 70,000 new refugees a year -- with little understanding of the economic, social and national security risks. 

In response, I introduced the Resettlement Accountability National Security Act (H.R. 3314) to immediately suspend the program pending a complete examination of its costs and security threats. With that in mind, I want to know what you think about this important issue.
