UU."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, anunci\u00f3 hoy que ha presentado la <i>Ley de bienvenida a los evacuados procedentes del extranjero para mitigar los efectos del desplazamiento (BIENVENIDOS) de 2021<\/i> en el Senado de Estados Unidos. La legislaci\u00f3n fue presentada previamente en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Estados Unidos por los representantes Seth Moulton (D-MA) y Don Bacon (R-NE).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Debido a que la toma de Afganist\u00e1n por los talibanes hizo que las evacuaciones r\u00e1pidas fuera del pa\u00eds fueran cr\u00edticas para los afganos que hab\u00edan ayudado a Estados Unidos durante la guerra, muchos evacuados afganos han llegado recientemente a Estados Unidos con permiso humanitario u otros procesos acelerados. Pero debido a que a estos evacuados a\u00fan no se les ha otorgado formalmente el estatus de refugiados, no han sido elegibles para los servicios que tradicionalmente ayudan a los refugiados a establecerse y comenzar una nueva vida en los Estados Unidos. El <i>Acto BIENVENIDO<\/i> solucionar\u00eda este tecnicismo y ayudar\u00eda a garantizar que los evacuados afganos tuvieran un comienzo exitoso en sus nuevas comunidades.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cDurante 20 a\u00f1os de guerra, miles de afganos arriesgaron sus propias vidas para ayudar a Estados Unidos en nuestra misi\u00f3n militar\u201d. <\/strong>dijo Merkley<strong>. \u201cHonrar esos riesgos y sacrificios ayud\u00e1ndolos a reconstruir sus vidas en los EE. UU. no s\u00f3lo es lo moralmente correcto, sino que tambi\u00e9n beneficiar\u00e1 a las comunidades de toda nuestra naci\u00f3n si les ayudamos a hacerlo con \u00e9xito. Los refugiados contribuyen enormemente a las econom\u00edas de las comunidades a las que se reubican, y debemos hacer todo lo que est\u00e9 a nuestro alcance para ayudar a nuestros aliados afganos a tener un buen comienzo en sus nuevos hogares. La evacuaci\u00f3n fue s\u00f3lo el primer paso; ahora nos toca a nosotros hacer lo correcto con los refugiados afganos a corto, mediano y largo plazo\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>El <i>Acto BIENVENIDO<\/i> cambiar\u00eda la redacci\u00f3n de las pol\u00edticas de refugiados de Estados Unidos para que los afganos rescatados fueran elegibles para recibir los mismos servicios y recursos b\u00e1sicos que normalmente est\u00e1n disponibles para los refugiados reci\u00e9n llegados a Estados Unidos. Esto incluye servicios de recepci\u00f3n y colocaci\u00f3n que equipar\u00edan a estos evacuados (muchos de los cuales huyeron r\u00e1pidamente y llegaron pr\u00e1cticamente sin nada) con el dinero y los recursos b\u00e1sicos para reasentarse ellos y sus familias en los Estados Unidos. La oficina de Merkley trabaj\u00f3 extensamente con afganos elegibles para ayudarlos a evacuar cuando fuera posible, y ahora est\u00e1 ayudando con el proceso de reasentamiento de refugiados evacuados con v\u00ednculos con Oregon.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. &ndash; Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley today announced that he has introduced the Welcoming Evacuees Coming from Overseas to Mitigate Effects of Displacement (WELCOMED) Act of 2021 in the U.S. Senate.
