Deb Fischer: “The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program is a reflection of our values and national security interests.”

I am hopeful that we can soon follow here in the Senate.

I am optimistic that we can continue raising bipartisan, bicameral support for this bill.

I would like to thank Chairwoman Klobuchar for holding this hearing and welcome you, Director Halpern, back to the Committee for the first time since your confirmation in 2019.

That is not a record to be proud of.
