Announcing the ACT for America Refugee Resettlement
Working Group
Help us protect our nation by addressing a dangerously
broken program
Concerned,
There's a serious problem facing our country. It doesn't
grab as many headlines as terror  attacks,
but it's just as serious — our broken system of refugee resettlement.
Ever since it's founding, our country has been a source
of inspiration and a refuge for those who seek to escape oppression. In
recent years, though, the system used to resettle refugees has become
very badly broken.
That's one reason that we're so thrilled to have Ann
Corcoran speaking at this year's national conference. Ann has been
working on this critical issue for years, documenting the serious
problems in our system, and working with grassroots activists to raise
awareness and fix it.
This deeply-flawed process is establishing pockets of
refugees in our communities with inadequate screening, inadequate assistance
to local governments, and inadequate efforts to assimilate refugees
into American culture.
There simply are no good outcomes in our current system.
At best, the process
leaves a small group of refugees living in an isolated pocket with no
significant ties to their new community. At worst, it opens the door
for radical extremists to make their way into our country and do untold
damage.
We must reform this process, and we must do it now.
That's why ACT for
America has launched our Refugee Resettlement Working Group,
a sub-group dedicated to working on this issue in their local
communities.
Our 300,000
grassroots activists, working together, have enabled ACT for
America to win significant victories for the security
of our nation, passing laws in state after state. Together, we can ensure that
this broken system is fixed, and that potential terrorists are kept on
the outside looking in.
