Mr. Speaker, today, I will reintroduce legislation
entitled, Save the Christians From Genocide Act. The bill declares
Christians and Yazidis in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, and Libya as
targets of genocide, and thus gives them a priority for immigrant and
refugee visas. Importantly, this bill does not circumvent or change current vetting
processes, but rather simply ensures that these targets of genocide are
placed at the front of the line for immigration and refugee visa
processing. The Save the Christians From Genocide Act was submitted but not
brought to the floor for a vote in the last Congress. During that time,
thousands of Christians have been killed and often turned into helpless
and hopeless refugees on the run from radical Islamic terrorism. The
Save the Christians From Genocide Act will give Middle East Christians
a safe haven. Christians are being slaughtered.
