Bill overview
The GRACE Act aims to increase the number of refugees admitted to the United States by establishing a guaranteed minimum annual admission goal of at least 125,000. It requires the President to determine this goal annually, considering humanitarian needs and national interest, and to allocate refugees regionally based on UN projections. The bill also mandates quarterly public reports on admissions and processing times, providing transparency and accountability in the refugee resettlement process. Finally, it addresses security checks and circuit ride operations to ensure efficient and secure refugee resettlement.
