The Lance Gooden amendment to H. R. 4665 prohibits the funds appropriated in the bill from funding the International Organization for Migration’s “Refugee Travel Loan Program.” This NGO, alongside many other NGO’s, pays to send people into the United States. CPAC believes that taxpayer funds should not be used to fund the US’ own migration crisis and supported this amendment. The House defeated this amendment on September 28, 2023 by a vote of 198-232.
