No Resettlement Without Representation Act

This bill changes how refugee admissions are managed in the U.S. It requires the President to submit a refugee admission recommendation to Congress before each fiscal year (starting 2025), rather than setting limits unilaterally. Congress must then pass a joint resolution setting the annual refugee cap before any admissions can occur. Additionally, it gives state governors the authority to block refugee resettlement in their state by notifying the federal agency 30 days prior to resettlement. This directly affects the President’s authority, Congress’s role in setting limits, and states’ ability to reject refugees within their borders.
