Madam Speaker. I rise today to recognize and honor U.N. World Refugee Day. Some 40 million people worldwide are uprooted by violence and persecution. It is likely that in the future we will see even more people on the runas a growing number of push factors compound one another to create conditions for further torced displacement. People do not just tlee persecution and war but also injustice. exclusion. environmental pressures. competition for scarce resources and all the miserable human consequences ot dysfunctional states. We need to rise together to advocate tor the plight of refugees. We need to raise global awareness to remedy the conditions for which people are forced to leave their homes and become retugees.
