Testimony to Senator Jeff Sessions on FY2017 Obama plan for refugee resettlement
Posted by Ann Corcoran on October 17, 2016
Editor: This is another excellent testimony submitted for the record on Senator Sessions’ hearing (Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest) we reported here.
We posted another testimony from a concerned citizen, here, on October 9th. I know it is much more interesting to read about some hot news on refugee and immigration issues generally, but I encourage you to take the time to read expert testimony like this (below) so that you have a deeper understanding of how the UN/US Refugee Admissions Program works.

Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is a top advisor to the Donald Trump Presidential campaign. If you vote for Trump, you can be assured that Sessions sanity on immigration will be a significant force in a Trump Administration.
You cannot effectively seek to ‘reform’ this program if you have only a cursory understanding of how it works.
As over-used as the phrase is, it is still imperative to understand that ‘knowledge is power’ (which has been a driving motivation for my 9 years of writing this blog).
Joanne from Tennessee responded to my request that some of you send in testimony, here.
If you sent testimony and want me to have a look at it (with the possibility of posting it here at RRW), please send it to refugeewatcher@gmail.com with a prominent subject line using the word ‘testimony.’ I apologize if you have done it already and I’ve missed it. Please send it again.
Here is Joanne’s testimony:
