I appreciate the gentleman yielding time to me. Mr. Chairman. Snohomish County in my district is a recipient of TRAP funding. This vital program provides essential training for refugees. However. currently Snohomish County receives less than 7 percent of the funding per refugee that some other counties receive. For example. Snohomish County gets $31 per refugee. Another county in this country gets $497 per refugee. $31. $497. This is not right. TRAP funding is intended to benefit all refugees in this Nation. no special population. I support the amendment of the gentleman from California. to bring fairness and equity to this program.
