Thanks Liz for all the info!

The link below is an article about the states and governors (For example: Indiana and Alabama) attempt to stall or halt the refugees. Scroll down half way to see a graphic and map.

Syrian Refugees Receive Green Light from U.S. Courts, Mixed Reception from States and Congress

Midway through fiscal year 2016, how is Obama doing with his refugee surge?

https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/midway-through-fiscal-year-2016-how-is-obama-doing-with-his-refugee-surge/

In previous years Obama set the ceiling on refugee admissions at 70,000, but this year it is 85,000 from around the world with 10,000 of that number being Syrians. It appears he and his team at the US State Department are way behind.

Checking the data as of yesterday (12 days past the midway point in the year which was March 31), we have admitted 30,632 which leaves 54,368 to go.

To reach that goal in a little over 5 months we are looking for an arrival rate of nearly 10,000 a month! Yikes!
