107TH CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 4074
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to reaffirm the United States
historic commitment to protecting refugees who are fleeing persecution
or torture.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 20, 2002
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey (for himself, Mr. BERMAN, Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN,
and Mr. DELAHUNT) introduced the following bill; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to reaffirm
the United States historic commitment to protecting ref-
ugees who are fleeing persecution or torture.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; REFERENCES IN ACT.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the
‘‘Refugee Protection Act of 2002’’.
(b) REFERENCES
IN ACT.—Except as specifically
provided in this Act, whenever in this Act an amendment
or repeal is expressed as an amendment to or repeal of
a provision, the reference shall be deemed to be made to
that provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1101 et seq.).
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The very foundation of the Republic was
laid by people who came to America to escape perse-
cution, including many who fled persecution on the
basis of their faith.
(2) Protecting people from persecution is a
cherished goal and a guiding principle of the United
States.
(3) The United States has a history of gen-
erosity to persons fleeing persecution, a history that
has served as an inspiring example to other coun-
tries developing refugee policy, even though only a
tiny fraction of the world’s oppressed actually seek
refuge on United States shores.
(4) Conversely, when the United States has re-
stricted protection for refugees, other countries have
followed that lead.
(5) United States law fails to ensure that a per-
son fleeing persecution who arrives in the United
States has a fair and adequate opportunity to
present a claim for protection.
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are—
(1) to reduce the likelihood that a bona fide ref-
ugee will be returned to persecution in the refugee’s
country of nationality, or country of last habitual
residence, by United States authorities because of
expedited removal procedures or lack of fairness in
the United States asylum system; and
(2) to provide alternatives to detention and im-
prove detention conditions for asylum seekers.

gration situation is in the sole and exclu-
