“Joe Biden Brings 3K Refugees to U.S. from Countries Exporting Terrorism,” by John Binder, Breitbart, October 11, 2021:
President Joe Biden’s administration resettled more than 3,000 refugees from countries known to export terrorism that had previously been listed on former President Donald Trump’s constitutional travel ban.
In May, President Joe Biden announced he would raise the refugee resettlement cap to 62,500 refugees for Fiscal Year 2021 — more than four times the cap that former President Trump imposed for the year at about 15,000 refugees.
The Fiscal Year started on October 1, 2020, and ran through September 30. The annual cap set by presidents is merely a numerical limit and not intended to be a numerical goal.
In January, Biden signed an executive order that ended Trump’s constitutional travel ban which had prevented almost all immigration to the U.S. from particular countries with a history of exporting terrorism.
As a result, more than 3,000 refugees from countries listed on Trump’s travel ban were resettled across the U.S. this past Fiscal Year, including:
175 refugees from Iran
1,246 refugees from Syria
7 refugees from Yemen
174 refugees from Somalia
3 refugees from Venezuela
772 refugees from Myanmar
184 refugees from Eritrea
513 refugees from Sudan
Thanks to Trump’s reduction in the refugee resettlement program, a little more than 11,400 refugees in total were resettled in Fiscal Year 2021 — a huge cut to Obama era levels and far below Biden’s cap of 62,500.
The total, though, is still a significant population that is larger than Montpelier, Vermont’s population which is fewer than 7,500 residents. About 48 percent of refugees admitted this past Fiscal Year went to battleground states, including:
422 refugees to Arizona
267 refugees to Colorado
216 refugees to Florida
385 refugees to Georgia
236 refugees to Iowa
533 refugees to Michigan
268 refugees to Minnesota
510 refugees to North Carolina
454 refugees to Ohio
395 refugees to Pennsylvania
914 refugees to Texas
273 refugees to Virginia
366 refugees to Wisconsin
A bulk of refugees, nearly 3,000, were resettled in California, Kentucky, New York, and Washington.
As Breitbart News reported, Biden is planning to bring more than 10 times as many refugees to the U.S. for Fiscal Year 2022 — which started on October 1 — as he brought in Fiscal Year 2021….
I just have to share that here in Ft Collins, which is near where I live, which is Windsor, Co, they have an airport. Haha.. so?? Well, this weekend is an airshow with the Blue Angels. So??? WELL... they’ve been practicing for two days and they fly right over my house!
It’s been loud and beautiful. Talk about gorgeous jets.
We did go to Costco today and the freeway was about shut down with people going really slow to see them in action.
Beyond cool. The last time the Blue Angels were here was 20 yrs ago.
I’ll try to steal a photo somewhere since my phone camera (and my sincerest apologies for stealing this excuse from whomever it was here) only takes blurry pics of UFO’s lol.
I will get the good camera out tomorrow.
