SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States of America serves as a 
beacon of refuge to thousands of victims fleeing reli-
gious, ethnic, racial, and other forms of persecution 
around the world and has become the home to thou-
sands of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. 
(2) In order to safeguard the integrity of the 
refugee and asylum system that has provided safety 
to those who fled the Holocaust, and in order to en-
sure that those survivors do not have to share their 
adopted homeland with their former persecutors, the 
policy of the United States has been that this coun-
try should not provide safe haven for those who par-
ticipated in acts of Nazi persecution. 
(3) Congress enacted laws specifically to ex-
clude or to remove participants of Nazi persecution 
from the United States and never intended that 
those individuals should be entitled to the benefits of 
citizenship or residency.
