Summary

Refugee Repayment Act - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require refugees to repay one-half of the average annual Federal refugee cost. Exempts disabled or elderly refugees from such requirement. Prohibits an alien from being deported or denied naturalization for failure to make such repayment. Grants "special immigrant" status to certain refugees who have made such payments to the Treasury.
