Subject: Strengthening National Security by Ensuring Proper Vetting of Afghanistan Refugees
Description: Cotton (R-AR) amendment to the continuing resolution strengthens national security by ensuring Afghan refugees follow normal vetting procedures prior to receiving REAL ID driver's licenses. Additionally, the amendment establishes a reasonable 18 month limit on the housing, food and medical benefits provided to the refugees. The amendment is in response to the Biden administration's plan to carelessly dole out green cards to refugees and bypass normal vetting procedure. ACU recognizes the Biden administration's disastrously planned Afghanistan withdrawal resulted in countless Americans being left stranded and tens of billions of dollars of weapons and equipment being seized by the Taliban, and supports strengthening national security by ensuring the proper vetting of all individuals entering the country.
Result: Amendment Rejected, 50-50
