Now. we here in the United States have a moral responsibility to do right by the millions of Iraqis who have been driven away from their homes. particularly for those who have risked their lives to assist our country. In 2007. Congress agreed to provide resettlement benefits for special immigrants from Iraq and Afghanistan who helped the United States. helped us. and to increase from 500 to 5.000 the number of special immigrants from Iraq we will admit into this country. Both measures passed the Senate by unanimous votes. The American people have responded with their customary generosity and caring spirit in welcoming these Iraqis into our Nation.
