Congress is expected to vote later this week on the REAL ID Act,
introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman James
Sensenbrenner (R-WI) on January 26, 2005.
If enacted, The REAL ID Act will:
*Place refugees at an increased risk of persecution and;
*Erode this country's historic commitment to protect those
seeking safe haven.
A report released today by the bi-partisan U.S. Commission on
International Religious Freedom at the request of Congress
documents a number of serious failings in U.S. treatment of
asylum seekers and shows how hard it already is for refugees who
flee from religious and other persecution to receive asylum in
this country. The REAL ID Act would further increase the already
significant burdens facing refugees who seek asylum here.
Please contact your Representatives and urge them to preserve
our nation's commitment to protecting refugees by opposing the
REAL ID Act.
