“The United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) has served as a lifeline for millions of refugees displaced by war and political persecution. The U.S. has historically been the world’s leader in the absolute number of refugees resettled and the diversity of countries of origin from which refugees have come. While often seen as a humanitarian act that protects vulnerable people from harm and allows them to seek a better life in the U.S., refugee resettlement also yields tangible foreign policy benefits and strengthens the U.S. domestically.” (10/18/24)
