KYL. has raised a rule XVI point of order against this provision and had it stricken from the bill. It is regrettable that one Senator. for whatever reason. has decided to torpedo this bipartisan effort. We have worked with the administration. We have worked with refugee organizations that know the hardship current law is causing for thousands of innocent people. legitimate refugees and asylum seekers. who have been denied admission. We have worked to find a reasonable middle ground. But that isnt good enough for the Senator from Arizona. so we are back to square one. Individuals who fought alongside the United States in Vietnam. in Afghanistan. and elsewhere will continue to be barred under current law.
