Refugee policy is a vigorously debated issue under the Trump Administration. Given the many refugee crises plaguing the world including the Syrian Civil War, ethnic cleansing in Burma, and continuing violence and famine in South Sudan, effective U.S. refugee resettlement policies are essential to meeting these challenges.

With the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) under review as a result of Executive Order 13780, policymakers have an opportunity to reform parts of USRAP, thereby ensuring that it continues to serve American interests. The Heritage Foundation’s recent report, The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program: A Roadmap for Reform, offers a number of recommendations to accomplish just that. Join us for a discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, and ideas for reform of the U.S. Refugee Admission Program.
