SRES 287 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.

SRES 287 is a non-binding Senate resolution reaffirming U.S. commitment to protecting refugees and displaced persons globally. It highlights the record 123 million forcibly displaced people worldwide (as of 2024) and specifically addresses the current suspension of U.S. refugee admissions, which has left over 100,000 refugees stranded in conditional approval status. The resolution calls for restoring the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and urges federal agencies to uphold international refugee protections, including due process and resettlement for vulnerable groups like women, children, and refugees from conflict zones like Sudan and Gaza. It emphasizes that refugee resettlement supports U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic interests, citing data showing refugees contributed $581 billion in government revenue between 2005-2019.
