After fiscal year 2026, the United States would have to admit at least 125,000 refugees each year. A President could set a higher number, but not a lower one. The bill does not change refugee screening or eligibility rules.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people trying to come to the United States as refugees, the groups that help resettle them, and the communities where they live. It also affects future Presidents by limiting how low they can set refugee admissions. Federal agencies would still run the program, but they would have to meet this new minimum under the existing legal system.
Why this matters: This matters because it would stop refugee admissions from dropping below a set national minimum. That would make the program more stable for refugees and for the groups that help them. It also shifts some power from the President to Congress by locking the minimum into law. The bill does not say how the government would fund or manage the added workload, so the real-world effects would depend on how agencies and communities carry it out.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
