This bill would set a guaranteed minimum of 125,000 refugees who can be admitted to the United States each year, starting in fiscal year 2027. Today, the President sets the yearly cap; this plan would make sure the number never drops below that floor. It amends existing immigration law and is called the “Lady Liberty Act of 2025.”

Key points:

• Who is affected: People seeking refugee status, along with local communities and resettlement agencies that help them settle.
• What changes: A hard minimum of 125,000 refugee admissions per year, instead of leaving the number entirely to a yearly decision.
• When: Beginning in fiscal year 2027.
