H. Con. Res. 25 · 115th Congress · Feb 15, 2017 · Lineage

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1)
the Executive order titled “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States” is not a testament to the United States as a Nation that is welcoming to all regardless of race, religion, or country of origin;
(2)
the President must immediately allow for the continued entry of refugees that have already been granted admission to the United States by the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program;
(3)
the United States should continue to resettle refugees that need protection regardless of their country of origin;
(4)
lawful permanent residents be granted entry into the United States regardless of their country of origin; and
(5)
the Visa Interview Waiver Program not be suspended while the Secretary of State conducts a review of all nonimmigrant visa reciprocity agreements to ensure that there are no disruptions to communities, institutions of education, and interstate commerce.
