Petition Title: Suspend placement of refugees under the Refugee Act of 1980 until the act is reformed providing local control
In accordance with the Refugee Act of 1980, the Federal Government of the United States of America has not honored itxs commitment to fully fund, and ensure local control over the placement of refugees in cities all across America, thereby creating undue burdens. We petition the President of the United States, acting with Congress to suspend placement of refugees under the Refugee Act of 1980 until the act is reformed as to fully cover the direct and indirect costs incurred by the City and/or State in support of each refugee resettled by either primary placement and/or secondary migration, and to provide the City and/or State government with control over the program placing refugees locally, thereby ending the need for VOLAGs and any other NGO in the process.
