President Biden has increased the refugee admissions cap to 62,500 for the current fiscal year, after keeping the historically low Trump-era cap of 15,000. But Mr. Biden also admitted in a statement on Monday that the administration will not reach that cap this year.

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
The new admissions cap will also reinforce efforts that are already underway to expand the United States' capacity to admit refugees, so that we can reach the goal of 125,000 refugee admissions that I intend to set for the coming fiscal year.


1 million legal immigrants per year, 185,000 H-1B immigrants per year, 125,000 refugees per year and God knows how many illegal immigrants per year. Good bye sweet America

“... However, the higher caps my administration has set does not change the qualifications for refugees. They must all be persons of color, LGBTQs, or be very progressive.”

What commie Joe Biden has done is Increased the number of people in poverty by 62,500 and he plans on increasing that next year by over 100000.

So when you hear the Rats complaining about people suffering in poverty you know where to place the blame.

Donald Trump had the poverty rate going down due to the fact that more people were finding employment.

Biden just killed that economy.

a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across its country during a “global pandemic” is either guilty of biological warfare against its citizens or they know that this so called “deadly virus” is a scam...

We have more than 10,000 illegal aliens per day pouring over the border.

What is this nonsense?
