This measure would urge President Barack Obama's administration to expedite visa processing for Iraq's minority groups and to lift the refugee quota cap for Iraqi Christians in order to streamline the process of accepting them into the United States as refugees, would urge the Congress of the United States to pass House Resolution 663, and would urge the United States Department of State to work with, among others, the Kurdistan Regional Government, the Iraqi central government, and neighboring countries to help secure safe havens for those claiming amnesty from Iraq. The measure would also declare that there is an urgent need to protect religious minorities from persecution from the Sunni Islamist terrorist group the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as it expands its control over areas in northwestern Iraq.
