We have no other details at this time, but the hearing will be at 2:30 p.m. in the Dirksen Senate Office Building room 226. Visit the Immigration and the National Interest Subcommittee (of the Judiciary Committee) for more information early next week, by clicking here.
See our post of last year about the hearing that is a requirement under the Refugee Act of 1980.
Go here to see if your Senator is on this all-important subcommittee.
Sessions counterpart in the House, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, is Rep. Trey Gowdy. We will be looking for a hearing to follow there before the new fiscal year begins on October 1.
See (click here) if your Member of Congress is on Gowdy’s subcommittee. If he is then be sure to contact him and tell him how you feel about the Refugee Admissions Program.
Remember, it will be the Republicans in Congress who determine in the end how many refugees will be placed in your towns beginning in two weeks from tomorrow (NOT Obama!). No money=no refugees!
