Book excerpt: This paper contains the testimony of leading US voluntary agencies on US resettlement and integration policies. It was given to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Policy of the US Senate by the Chairman of the Committee on Migration and Refugee Affairs of the American Council of Voluntary agencies for Foreign Service (ACVAFS). The statement argues that since refugee resettlement is a federal decision, the costs should be covered by the federal government. The recommendations cover a wide area, including: 1) 'impact aid' for affected local communities; 2) economic self-sufficiency; 3) secondary migration; 4) welfare; 5) medical aid; 6) ESL; and 7) counselling and case management. The paper concludes by strongly supporting the maintenance of existing admission ceilings for refugee groups, under the terms of the US 1980 Refugee Act.
