immediately grant refugee status to Iraqi citizens who materially helped U.S. Forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

There are many Iraqi citizens who aided U.S. Armed Forces during Operation Iraqi Freedom, acting as interpreters, contractors, informants, and more. The U.S. Armed Forces would have had an exponentially more difficult task if not for the help of these Iraqis. Some of these Iraqis have shown more loyalty to the United States than America's own citizens. Among their own countrymen, they are often seen as traitors.These Iraqis and their families are now in grave danger as their country is ripped apart by extremists. The U.S. must show loyalty to these individuals who risked their lives to further our foreign policy agenda. We demand immediate refugee status be granted to these Iraqis and their immediate families, and that they be transported safely to the United States.
