I would urge the Members to consider the Smith amendment as one that just repeats what we have said we want to do. not an authorization bill for foreign assistance. What we should be saying in our appropriations bill. that when we allocate money. do what we say we are going to do. If Members say they are going to give money to refugees and migration assistance. give it to refugees and migration assistance. they should not do a back door end around and give it to administration and salaries instead and say that they are giving it to refugees. I urge Members to support the Smith amendment.
