Refugee Equity

Senator Santorum is co-sponsoring a bill to ensure to some equity when discussing Middle Eastern refugees.

Four US Senators and four Congressmen, representing both Democrats and Republicans, have introduced landmark resolutions on Middle East refugees in the United States Senate and in the House of Representatives.

The resolutions urge President George Bush to ensure that in all international forums, when the issue of "Middle East refugees" is discussed, representatives of the United States should ensure "that any explicit reference to Palestinian refugees is matched by a similar explicit reference to Jewish and other refugees, as a matter of law and equity."
