Mr. Speaker. the largest refugee crisis in the world. other than the Darfur. is unfolding In Iraq. Four million Iraqis have fled their homes. Two million have fled the country. and an estimated 20- to 50.000 a month or more are added to that toll. Yet the United States has been able. with all our resources. to only allow 70 Iraqis refugee status in the United States since October. only one in April. only one in May. Its time for us to accept responsibility to aid the people in this desperate plight. If there are any. any of my colleagues who have any doubt that we need to change the policy and reach out to them.
